Downhill to Death — Kate Miller

Description

‘Help…!’ She shouted but her voice disappeared into the blizzard.
‘Help monsieur… Someone has fallen…’
She looked down. Ottavia lay at the foot of the cliff, not moving, her red jacket being softly obliterated by the relentless white flakes…

Did a champion skier really tumble to her death? And why has her boyfriend vanished?
France, 1931. Chamoix is hosting ice hockey tournaments and an international slalom race. Amid the frenzy of competition, ski instructor Marie-Laure is intent on finding the truth about a friend’s death, while dealing with an arrogant English family on a mission of their own. But one mystery leads to another when she is entrusted with a dangerous secret.
A Russian Countess, jewel thieves, strange meetings and spies – Marie-Laure is trying to make sense of it all, until she herself becomes the target of a killer…
Downhill to Death is the second of the Marie-Laure mysteries set in the French Alps.

‘Alpine intrigue… with an engaging protagonist and twisty plot!’
