Shell and Joe are spending their honeymoon at a Colorado ski lodge and had expected to spend their two weeks skiing by day and cuddling by the roaring fire by evening. What they did NOT expect, however, was the discovery of the body of another lodge guest, and Joe's instant observation that this was not the result of an accident. The murderer could have been intruders, but Shell and Joe believe it more likely to have been perpetrated by another guest at the lodge. And what part might some of the long time lodge employees have played? The victim, after all, was a regular guest whose behavior left a lot to be desired. They also did not expect to find themselves the self-appointed protectors of precocious (and snoopy) five-year-old twins who continue to see and hear more than is good for them. The two former police officers decided to stay and investigate, and play watchdog over the twins, whom they believe are at risk.
