About the Book:
After talking her way into a job writing for Portland’s Northwest Extreme magazine, Meg Reed may now really be in over her head. Actually, about 8,000 feet over her head. . .
She’s at Mount Hood’s remote Silcox Hut, covering the seriously hardcore Ridge Rangers—Oregon’s elite high-altitude rescue team–during their four-day winter training. Sure, Meg beefed up her outdoor skills over the summer . . . but she’s still hoping to cover the event with some hot chocolate by the cheery fireplace. Then, during a sudden blizzard, she swears she hears gunshots. No one stranded in the hut believes her . . . until self-absorbed Ridge Ranger Ben Rogers is found outside in a pool of frozen blood. Meg’s now got to find this killer quickly . . . before cabin fever does them all in!

Jennifer’s Review of Slayed On The Slopes
Review (4.5 Stars): I adore Meg because she is sweet, smart and always finds herself in situations that could have been avoided if she was just honest about her true outdoor skills. In Slayed on the Slopes, Meg has been given the assignment to spend time with the newly assembled Ridge Rangers, an elite rescue team, at Timberline and document their first training session. While there, Meg becomes stranded with the rest of group at the top of Mount Hood by a devastating snow storm and before she knows it, she is involved in another murder. Meg is now on the lookout for a killer who will do anything to protect their secret from getting out.
This is the second book in the Pacific Northwest Mystery series and I’m already a big fan of this delightful cozy series. Meg is a charming character that you will instantly connect with and this mystery had me second-guessing myself until the very end. I loved the fact that Ms. Dyer-Seeley used Timberline as the location for this mystery because I could see exactly where Meg and the Ridge Rangers were having their retreat from the previous times that I have visited Mount Hood myself. Slayed On The Slopes was a well-written whodunnit that is sure to please the armchair adventurer in all of us. I suggest that readers start with Ms. Dyer-Seeley’s first book, Scene of the Climb, if you are new to the series because everyone should meet Meg from the beginning and I can’t wait to see what deadly situation she gets into next.
