MURDER & MULLED WINE

A massive avalanche. A luxury resort in the dark. A killer in the snow.



When Isabella "Bella" Rossi and Maresciallo Matteo De Luca travel to a hyper-luxurious ski resort high in the jagged peaks of the Italian Alps to help Bella's estranged cousin, they expect a weekend of awkward family reunions and expensive hot cocoa. But when an apocalyptic blizzard triggers a massive avalanche, the only access road is buried under fifty feet of snow. The power is cut. The cell towers are down. They are entirely sealed off from the world.



And they are not alone.



When a legendary local truffle hunter is found frozen solid in a snowbank with a silver ice pick driven squarely into his back, Bella realizes the winter wonderland has just become a frozen cage. The murder weapon belongs to the resort's own luxury bar, and the killer is trapped inside the lodge with sixty panicked billionaires.



With the temperature rapidly plummeting to lethal levels and the backup generator sabotaged, Matteo must lock down the elite guests while Bella braves the treacherous whiteout to uncover a multi-million-euro environmental conspiracy. They must catch a ruthless murderer hiding among the high-society elite before the heat runs out and the killer strikes again.



"Murder & Mulled Wine" is the chilling fourteenth installment in The Tuscan Vineyard Mysteries. Swapping the warm Tuscan sun for a classic, Agatha Christie-style locked-room mystery, this high-altitude cozy thriller delivers paralyzing suspense, breathtaking action, and a hilarious culinary showdown where Nonna Rosa proves that survival requires heavy wool and bubbling cheese fondue.
