A gondola ride with a killer ending... Winterhaven Lodge is meant to be a sanctuary - roaring fires, hearty meals, and views across Lake Whakatipu to the soaring Remarkables. But when an obnoxious guest insists on riding the gondola alone... and is found dead at the summit... Queenstown's peace is shattered. Murder has come to the mountains. Beth Michaels, the lodge's thoughtful manager, never sets out to play detective. But people open up to her, sharing secrets they'd never reveal to anyone else. And with her uncanny knack for slotting stray details together, Beth becomes an unexpected ally to Inspector Jack Cole. As suspicion shifts from the lodge to the townsfolk below, Beth realises the truth is hiding in plain sight - and someone will stop at nothing to keep it buried. Set against the breathtaking beauty of New Zealand's Southern Alps, Murder on the Gondola is a cozy mystery of secrets, suspicion, and survival. Perfect for fans of Agatha Christie, Louise Penny, and anyone who loves danger served with a side of small-town charm.
