A Ski Diva Mystery

review 1: This second in the series was pretty disappointing. The mystery itself turned out to be very thin -- promising through the first half and a letdown through the ending. Stacey, amateur sleuth and main character, was somewhat in the background in this one as well. Her parts of the book were mostly ski driven, or, amazingly, making the sheriff look completely inept to his face while not actually helping the investigation along.
review 2: I got my hands on an advance reader copy and read it while at an early season ski vacation. Other than the first line of the book, I’ve forgotten the plot to Wendy Clinch's debut, Double Black, so it may not be fair to say that I enjoyed Fade to White more. Stacey Curtis is back waitressing at the Broken Binding in Vermont when... more a Hollywood has-been rolls into town with a crew to film a mouthwash commercial. What happens next is a well-told story – that it’s a murder mystery is almost a bonus. The dialogue and references to pop culture (and skiing!) are fresh and believable, and Stacey’s character is one you want to root for. And, I really liked how all the characters were developed this time around. It’s a fun read, particularly [I]après[/I] après ski. Well done, Wendy! less
