Faith Fairchildová odjíždí na rodinnou sešlost v lyžařském letovisku Pine Slopes ve Vermontu, kde chce její tchán oslavit sedmdesátiny, se smíšenými pocity. Její předtucha se potvrdí hned na první vycházce do lesa, když objeví ve sněhu tělo. Boyd Harrison, tchánův starý přítel, sice zemřel na infarkt, ale jeho smrt vhrne na oslavy temný stín. Z restaurace navíc za záhadných okolností zmizí šéfkuchař, kterého Faith na naléhání majitelů na pár dní zastoupí. Pine Slopes však postihnou další pohromy zlomyslný žert v bazénu, vloupání do chaty Fairchildových, záměrné poničení vleku. Nakonec dojde k "nehodě" se sněžným dělem a stráně střediska se zbarví krví. Faith, která po pachatelích pátrá na vlastní pěst, netuší, že kromě budoucnosti Pine Slopes je v sázce i její život.

In this homage to Agatha Christie's And Then There Were None, Faith Fairchild is asked to cater a very small, very private college reunion on an isolated New England island—an event that could be her dream job. But when she discovers the true reason for the get-together, not even the spectacular ocean views can keep it from turning into a nightmare. Thirty years ago, bestselling suspense writer Barbara Bailey Bishop lost her twin sister in a tower fall deemed a suicide. But Barbara is convinced that Hélène did not die by her own hand, and she's trapped Hélène's former classmates—her prime suspects—at her home with no phone lines, no cell reception, and no means of escape. One by one, the alumnae fall prey to a madwoman. A disturbed sister's revenge . . . or a former coed's coverup? Faith must quickly unlock the secrets of Hélène's last night if she wants to leave the island alive.

During her years spent in New York City. Faith Fairchild was convinced she had seen pretty much everything. But the transplanted caterer/minister's wife was unprepared for the surprises awaiting her in the sleepy Massachusetts village of Aleford. And she is especially taken aback by the dead body of a pretty young thing she discovers stashed in the church's belfry. The victim, Cindy Shepherd. was well-known locally for her acid tongue and her jilted beaux, which created a lot of bad blood and more than a few possible perpetrators -- including her luckless fiance, who had neither an alibi nor a better way to break off the engagement. Faith thinks it's terribly unfair that the police have zeroed in on the hapless boyfriend, and so she sets out to uncover the truth. But digging too deeply into the sordid secrets of a small New England village tends to make the natives nervous. And an overly curious big city lady can become just another small town death statistic in very short order.
