Tricky Sweet
About This Book
Three California college students trade the beach for the mountains of New Mexico over spring break, hoping for a week of snowboarding, drinking, and good times. Their directions to the rental are vague, and they reach Taos Ski Valley late at night, through falling snow. Startled to find an older couple already in the cabin they thought was theirs, they are told it may be a bed and breakfast, and they settle into a bedroom. Casey Hardwick, the group's self-appointed leader, is not known for following instructions or checking details, so the mix-up hardly bothers him. Days later, Casey's sister reaches Kelly Sweet, the only person she knows in Taos, with urgent news: their mother's health has taken a sharp turn and she has little time left. Nobody has heard from Casey, and his sister needs to reach him. Samantha Sweet is with Kelly when the call comes, and the situation grows stranger after they speak with Sheriff Evan Richards. The families reported the missing young men, and he investigated but found no sign that they ever arrived in town. He believes the boys changed their plans at the last minute and are enjoying themselves somewhere else, but Samantha has a bad feeling. Without help from law enforcement, can Samantha and Kelly work out how the men vanished, locate them, and get Casey home before he loses his last chance to see his mother? Their only leads seem to lie in a mysterious book of runes. Samantha is not young, glamorous, or svelte, but she is clever, self-reliant, and hardworking, the kind of woman readers feel they already know. This book continues a series of earlier Samantha Sweet novels, known for a light, relaxed tone and polished writing.
