Publisher's Synopsis
Who is that third person who advises those who influence the people who make public policy? A body is discovered beneath the layers of an early fall snow in the west garden of Canyon House an historic B&B in Flagstaff, Arizona. Motive for the murder is as layered as the snow. Lois Woodrow and Ivy Wren have been best friends since public school and a simple visit by Lois to Ivy's B&B shakes their previously ordered world. Though by their own admission not quite as smooth as Agatha Christie's Miss Marple, their clumsy sleuthing becomes a valuable catalyst...
