Scones and Sabotage - Snow Falls Alaska Cozy, #11

Bethany Lights isn't looking for adventure. She's looking for quiet—forty-one days of it—inside an Antarctic research station so isolated it might as well be on the moon. After too many murders chasing her through Alaska, she'll happily trade her cozy kitchen for endless ice if it means a little peace.

But Arctic Cove Station isn't the retreat Dr. Sheila Paige promised. The steel hallways feel wrong. The coffee tastes off. And when a hidden door reveals a frozen corpse, Bethany's hopes for a relaxing winter getaway shatter faster than thin ice under a polar bear.

Now she's trapped with a fast-talking salesman who stress-eats his way through their supplies, a prickly divorcee who trusts no one, and a honeymooning couple who definitely didn't sign up for "murder mystery" as a bonding activity. Bethany's new job? Keep everyone calm, ration the hot cocoa, and figure out why nothing in this station adds up—before cabin fever turns her companions against each other.

With no phone signal, no rescue for weeks, and someone clearly playing games with their safety, Bethany must dust off her sleuthing instincts one more time. Because in a place this remote, the only thing more dangerous than a hidden killer is a group of strangers who've run out of trust… and snacks.
