This book didn’t cohere quite as nicely as the one which preceded it. It was a very complex story about men who go to a hunting lodge, one of their party gets killed. There’s a “we’re all stuck here” snowstorm. Another member gets killed. The power goes out. That sort of thing, with a side story involving people who I knew and liked from the last book but which barely overlapped with this plot. I felt like the author has created a new series with two people who are at the center of it, but really only one was prominent in this book. I also felt like the author had a definite sense of the place she wanted the story to take place in more than she had a plot which would unfold. I like mysteries which take place in VT but this one was just okay.
