Search - From Here to Paternity (Jane Jeffry, Bk 6)

Very nice cosy...well written, quick paced, sometimes amusing, and not a lot of unnecessary padding.

Jane Jeffry, surburban sleuth and her frind, Detective Mel VanDyne, have braved a blizzard to join her friend Shelley at a Colorado ski resort. In spite of having all their kids along, Jane and Shelley imagine a few mindless days of relaxation; but their hopes are dashed on their first attempt to ski when Jane careens into a snowman that hides a very real and very dead body. The slopes are littered with suspects - a convention of genealogists lead by a political fruitcake who thinks she's going to put her hand picked Tsar on the Russian throne, an ex stockbroker who's hiding from his investors, and an irate tribe of Native Americans. Jane has to take a census of the suspects and make some grave assumptions about who was vacationing with malicious intent.

Silly Mystery

Jane Jeffry finally gets to go on vacation to a great resort. While she is there, two murders take place. So her vacation is ruin until she figures out who did it and why.

I enjoyed this book because I didn't figure out who did it and why until the end.

This is very much a cozy mystery (no graphic violence, amateur detective). It's a very fast, light read and flows very well.

Fun series.
