1918 Italy
When a deadly blizzard traps Fiona Figg and Kitty Lane in the Dolomite Mountains, it’s all downhill from here.Their hotel is snowed-in, and no one can get in or out. Then a man is found dead in his locked hotel room – and the killer is still on the premises. But with no murder weapon and too many suspects, their investigation is treading on thin ice.
The colder it gets outside, the hotter it gets inside as Fiona squares off with both her beloved Archie and her nemesis Fredricks. With her love-life on a slippery-slope, Fiona risks everything in one bold move…

My thoughts: still in pursuit of Frederick Fredericks, Fiona, Kitty, Charles and Poppy are now in the Italian Dolomite mountains, snowed in with a motley crew of soldiers, socialists and one Benito Musolini, the future leader of Italy.
After a soldier is injured and taken to the hospital next door, Fiona starts to investigate, something strange is going on in this lonely place and she’s determined to ensure it won’t affect the war and that Fredericks won’t get up to any more mischief.
As usual Fiona feels she’s got less information than everyone else, especially Kitty, and with her beloved Archie popping up out of nowhere, she’s suspicious. But she’ll put all her skills and knowledge into this mystery first.
Lots of fun, and with a few real people and events thrown in for good measure, Fiona is getting even better at investigating, and while her colleagues seem to be less than open with her, it is war and loose lips…
