About the book
Imagine the terror of being scared of heights while working as a reporter for an adventure magazine. Now picture witnessing a murder from the top of a cliff.
Meg Reed felt like she hit the jackpot landing a job at Northwest Extreme magazine, only to realize she would have to actually go outdoors. Determined to fake her way through, she ends up covering an adventure race in the beautiful Columbia River Gorge in Oregon.
When a contestant falls to their death from Angel’s Rest summit, Meg becomes the sole witness and knows it was more than just an accident. With her job at risk and a murderer on the loose, Meg must conquer her fears and rely on her investigative instincts.
Armed with her notebook, a strong mocha, and the unwavering support of her friends, Meg delves into uncovering the secrets within the tight-knit adventure racing community. She quickly realizes that sometimes the most dangerous part of the great outdoors can be the people within it.
Set against the stunning backdrop of the Pacific Northwest, this delightful cozy mystery introduces a lovable amateur sleuth who discovers that solving murders may be the one outdoor activity she excels at naturally. Fans of Tonya Kappes, Lauren Elliott, and Laurie Gilmore will surely enjoy this book.
A Murder on the Mountain was formerly known as Scene of the Climb.
