When unemployed screenwriter Ali Winston arrives at the Sierra Pines B&B, nestled in California's Lake Tahoe region, for a relaxing visit with her dear aunt, the trip instantly turns into a nightmare. Aunt Julia has died. Her eccentric, geriatric actor pals, the Bellwether siblings, are crying foul play, but no one is listening. Understandably, Ali has plenty to occupy her mind--reeling from her aunt's unexpected death and the shocking news that she inherited the B&B. Problems snowball as a second body drops, right under the B&B's roof. When Sheriff Quint Sterling investigates, the evidence popping up points to the Bellwethers as the prime suspects. Now, Ali can't help wonder if Aunt Julia's death somehow connects to the murder. Determined to prove the Bellweathers' innocence, Ali puts her sharp wit and dogged tenacity to work in uncovering the truth, despite the handsome sheriff who insists she keep her hands off his case. One thing's for certain, Ali's debut as a n amateur sleuth will be canceled, unless she can put a spotlight on the real killer before he makes her the leading lady in his next performance"--Back cover.
