I love J A Whiting books and I can always follow the plot. However in this book, I kept wondering if the Safe was stolen or not. I know it's not that important, but it was confusing to me. I thought it had been taken, but then another time, I figured it hadn't. It's a silly thing to get caught up in, but it kept me from enjoying the book as much as I would have liked.

A Snowy Suspence

I liked the way the author gave us a choice of who the murderer was. It kept the pace up and I wanted to keep reading to find out. The winter discriotions of the area were great. Made me want to be there. Good, I like her writing style and I have read many of her books and want to read more. Thanks J. A.

Great series............

I enjoyed this mysterious adventure of the characters in this story of murder and crime. The author has sprinkled some romance in, which doesn't hurt the tale.

Another enjoyable tale from JA Whiting. I didn't find it to be quite as exciting as her other Paxton Park that I've read, Peril in PP, but this was still very entertaining. Unfortunately all the signs pointed to the killer from early in the book, and therefore the suspense was lost on me.

Overall good story.

I liked the book overall but the storyline seemed to be watered down. It was a fluff piece good to unwind with but little suspense. The author has done much better writing.

Like this series.

This one kept me guessing until the end, which is unusual. I normally figure it out way sooner. I really like this series.
