Synopsis

It's winter in the Bavarian village of Leavenworth, Washington, which for local brewmaster Sloan Krause means lots of layers, pine and citrus-flavored craft beers, and getting the new guest rooms at Nitro into pristine condition before visitors flood in for IceFest—a local tradition filled with fireworks, ice carving, and winter games of all varieties. But Sloan and her boss Garrett quickly learn that being brewkeepers turned innkeepers may not be as idyllic as it sounded.

While one couple staying with them seems completely smitten, a flashy group arrives in the evening demanding rooms. Sloan and Garrett are less than impressed, but agree to rent to them anyway. The night takes a turn when brewery patron Liv Paxton finishes her frothy pint and, with no previous plan for an overnight stay in Leavenworth, eagerly takes Sloan up on the offer of sanctuary from the snow—until she has a strange run in with some locals and the other guests. Sloan could be imagining things, but when Liv's room is found trashed the next morning, a hateful message painted on her car, and Liv herself is nowhere to be found, Sloan is convinced another mystery is brewing. With many of the potential suspects hunkering down under Nitro's roof, she knows her co-workers and friends won't be safe until she serves up the killer a hoppy pint of justice.

Goodreads review by Anissa

It's January in Leavenworth and there's snow and a festival, so I was already in for the setting here. Sloan and Garrett are spurred into a bigger soft opening for their B&B venture than they planned for when some tech bro and his entourage roll into town and need lodging. There is also one other gu......more

Goodreads review by Jeffrey

Another solid installment featuring Sloan Krause, brewer and citizen detective in the Bavarian tourist town and beer mecca of Leavenworth, Washington. I enjoyed it. Sloan figures a bit more out about her past and this one had a bit of a twist at the end that impressed me more than prior installments......more

Another engaging foray into the Germanic tourist village, Leavenworth, Wahington, decked out in lights in anticipation of IceFest where Sloan Krause works at the craft beer brew pub, Nitro, with its owner, Garrett. They planned to offer 4 rooms as a B&B starting next week, but bad weather and lack o......more
