TBR

Another fun Miss Zukas mystery. This time she's talked into going on a hike into the Cascade's by Ruth. As usual Helma does her research and is completely prepared, while Ruth just lets common sense pass her by! The hike turns deadly, and while trying to understand what happened, the two get stuck in a little cabin with some other hikers during a snowstorm. Clues point to it being one of the people they're trapped with, but which one?

Next stop Tribefan, from the Mystery VBB!

Arrived safe and sound! Thanks for sending!

Released into Affinity4book's Cozy Mystery Bookbox

This came home in my Cozy Mystery Box. Thanks for sharing! I may include it in the next round of the box or share it with another BCer. I have read a few in this series and enjoyed them, especially the humor that comes from Ruth and Helen's reationship.

Pulled this out of Affinity4books' cozy mystery bookbox. This one was actually on my wishlist, having already read the first 3 in this series (this is #5). Thanks for sharing, guys!

Sadly, MaryZee passed suddenly in September 2012. MaryZee's daughter is now ready to rehome her mom's books and I was willing to collect and redistribute them to keep her literary legacy alive.

The last time I saw MaryZee, she was telling me that she wanted to start a book box with the theme of Kitties & Kozies. This book is going to be set aside to see if anyone is interested in joining.

This book is part of the Bookish Book Box being circulated in memory of MaryZee, who was a passionate Bookcrosser and sadly died in September 2012. Hopefully it will cross the path of someone who will enjoy it.

Any future reader or recipient of this book is encouraged to leave a journal entry here on the BookCrossing site to let prior readers know the fate of the book. You can make an anonymous entry without joining the BookCrossing movement, but if you are interested in joining, it is a free and spam-free community where your contact information is not shared with others. Best of all, members receive private messages via e-mail from books like this one when those books are journaled, allowing for long-term relationships between books and readers.

I'm claiming this paperback from the Bookish Book Box in Memory of MaryZee.

Later: This is the fifth book in the "Miss Zukas" series featuring crime-solving librarian Helma Zukas - and this one has a bit of a twist, in that most of the story takes place in the Cascade mountains during a snowstorm! I didn't find it particularly involving either as a mystery or for the characters - they did have some scenes with amusing backchat, but I didn't feel drawn to spend more time with them. Still, it has some atmospheric scenes, and of course I have to give some points to a story involving the attempt to recover a body from a glacier {wry grin}.

I left this book on the book-swap shelf in the Tyngsboro MA post office lobby; hope someone enjoys it!
