[Alanna · Rating 3 out of 5]

3.5 ⭐️🎧 FBI agent visiting her brother where he works as a ski patrol manager. Avalanche conditions trap resort guests on the grounds.. and they quickly unveil a dead body. I read this as a stand alone, but it’s the tenth book in a series. The references to previous books felt like they were trying to mitigate the criticism of so many wild tragedies (plane crash, dumped in ocean, serial killer, etc) all happening to the same person; I think it may be time to move on to a new main character. But overall the book was fine.
