Meg's now got to find this killer quickly . . . before cabin fever does them all in!

22 of 22 people found the following review helpful. Irritating lack of attention to details. By astrid I love the locations in this book, but the writing and plotting were often poor. Meg is a writer for the magazine Northwest Extreme and is doing an article about the newly formed Ridge Runners, a high-altitude mountain guiding team made up of competitive snowboarders. Despite having no experience in snow, Meg goes out in a blizzard to find one of the snowboarders and hears some shots while she is near a picnic table. The person she is looking for has to rescue her as she can't find her way back to the cabin in the blizzard. The next day, another man, Ben is missing. Two of the Ridge Runners, Jackson and Henry go out to find him, again in a whiteout blizzard so severe they use a rope tied to the cabin to find their way back, and Meg goes along. Meg, who is short, heard the shots when the snow was knee deep for her, about 18 inches.Now the snow is waist deep, or 18-20 deeper than the day before. In this blizzard, Ben sees something, calls to the other two, and they find him looking at blood surrounding his knees. If he is tall, that could make his knees the level of Meg's waist, but how could blood from the day before rise up 18 inches? Then Ben digs at the base of the picnic table and finds more blood. How could the blood travel down 18 inches?Seemingly, it traveled both up and down 18 inches? Then Jackson drops the rope in the whiteout condition and plunges forward to find thebody "only 20-30 yards" (60-90 feet) from the picnic table. How could he even see that far? The next day, there is crime scene tape from thepicnic table around a ten foot perimeter. The area where the body was found apparently didn't merit crime tape? Then nothing is said any more about the murder. Was he actually shot, or stabbed? How did he travel 20-30 yards from the area where there was so much blood?Nothing said about the autopsy report.There are other inconsistencies: The team is training making snow caves. Clint, the leader says "Let's spend about half an hour on this." On the next page, he looks at his watch and says "You've got one hour." Meg "loves" makeup, but her beauty routine seems to consist of pinching her cheeks, which is mentioned several times. Really? Really? Is this the 18th century? She's never heard of blusher? How long is pinching her cheeks going to keep them pink? Two minutes? Irritating. Meg is knocked unconscious, which is by definition a concussion. She is dizzy the next day, yet goes on as usual. Not medically plausible. And there is no explanation in the book as to who knocked her out or why. A doctor gives Meg a pain injection for her broken arm. As soon as the needle pierced her skin, she felt the cold medicine running through her veins. Then she has a long conversation with the sheriff, then finally gets sleepy with the numbing medication pulsing through her veins. If the injection had been into a vein, she would have been out in a few seconds, so this was obviously an injection into a muscle, and she couldn't have felt it immediately in her veins. And veins don't pulsate. Just poor attention to details.

By Carolyn Hertz I received a free kindle copy of Slayed on the Slopes by Kate Dyer-Seeley, published by Kensington Publishing Corp. from NetGalley in exchange for a fair review.I gave this book three stars only because I hate cliff-hangers. The story was fine until the end.I loved the descriptions of the Oregon ski area at Mount Hood. The characters were well drawn. The mystery kept me guessing.
2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. A smart, crisp, and witty cozy mystery By Jenna Czaplewski at The Girl with Book Lungs This series, in my opinion, has been a hit from day one. Meg Reed is one of my favorite contemporary characters in the cozy mystery genre. She has such an earnestness and sincerity to her that I can't help but really like her. And, she reminds me a lot of myself at her age - charmingly naive (if I do say so myself!). She has a passion for her craft that really comes through; especially since she is working for an extreme outdoor sports magazine when she certainly doesn't fit the type! But she knows what she's good at and she knows she's an outstanding writer who can bring the readers to the moment - even if what she describes isn't exactly her forte.In Slayed on the Slopes, Meg is writing a feature story about the Ridge Rangers - an elite high-altitude rescue team. To really get the inside scoop, she's attending a four-day training with the group high up on the mountain. A blizzard imprisons the already isolated group in their hut thousands of feet above the lodge at Mount Hood. At one point, Meg steps outside into the blizzard and faces two very dangerous realizations: not only can she not find her way back to the hut, but what that a gun shot she just heard? Kate Dyer-Seeley has crafted a smart, crisp, and witty cozy mystery. Suspicions practically dances from a character to character; keeping me and Meg on our toes!What is really even more intriguing to me is the back story/behind-the-scenes mystery that is at work in the Pacific Northwest mysteries. Tiny pieces of something larger at work fall into play in both Scene of the Climb and Slayed on the Slopes. Truths that Meg thought she knew about her father, her family, and her job are suddenly being called into question - and she and my crush (ooops! I mean Meg's crush), Matt, are inching their way into very, very dangerous territory. Slayed on the Slopes drops one bombshell of a cliff-hanger ending and, if you're anything like me, you'll be on the edge of your seat until the next Pacific Northwest mystery is released . . . in 2016 (sob!).
