Fourth in the Cliff Janeway, ex-cop and book dealer series. I waited quite a time between the previous book and this one as I was quite disappointed in it after the stellar first couple in the series. This one was back on track and I enjoyed it very much although I did figure out almost right away who the killer was. I didn't guess the circumstances of the murder, but my gut told me whodunit.

Cliff travels to small town Paradise to begin investigation on a case for Erin, his girlfriend, who's a lawyer. This case involves Erin's childhood friend Laura, who's been accused of killing her husband. The husband also had an interesting collection of books that figure into the case as well. Our intrepid hero pits himself against snowstorms, the dark of night, a crazed deputy, a drunken grandfather, a crooked book dealer and a whole host of other obstacles to help get at the truth. Enjoyable and once again looking forward to the next in series.
