With mountainous murders galore around the world, this anthology is full of peaks and valleys!

Climb every mountain, search low and high
For clues to a murder, and try not to die

Four seasons of Murder:
Spring
DOUBLE BLUFF by Gretchen Archer. A new short story in the Davis Way series. Two trophy wives and one dead body equals a trip to Lookout Mountain, Tennessee for Davis Way and her co-worker.
FIVE DAYS TO FITNESS by Barb Goffman. A visit to a fitness camp in the Virginia Blue Ridge Mountains was supposed to be a new beginning for Bree Winterbourne. Instead, it’s a final ending for one of the attendees.
Summer
THE SOUND OF MUZAK by Karen Cantwell. Another short story in the Barbara Marr series. When Barb and friends take a trip to the Berkshire Mountains in Massachusetts, they are asked to help uncover the owner’s dark past—one that may involve murder.
THE PICTURE OF GUILT by Leslie Budewitz. A new short story in the Food Lovers’ Village series. Erin Murphy loves her town of Jewel Bay, Montana, which attracts artists, foodies, and other tourists. But one artist’s visit turns deadly.
Fall
THE LYIN’ WITCH IN THE WARDROBE by Eleanor Cawood Jones. Lorrie George and friends visit the Land of Oz theme park on Beech Mountain, North Carolina, filled with celebrities and jealousy and murder, oh my!
A KILLER POCONO HIKE by Tina Kashian. A short story in the Kebab Kitchen series. Lucy Berberian is desperate for a break from the stress of wedding planning, and the Poconos should have fit the bill. But finding a body in a sinkhole leaves Lucy with a sinking feeling.
Winter
A PERFECT CLIMB by Shawn Reilly Simmons. A skiing trip in the Australian Alps was supposed to be the perfect start for Caroline Cabot’s perfect marriage. Unfortunately, everything quickly goes downhill, as sore muscles, fighting couples, and a murder ruin the perfection.
THE EDELWEISS EXPRESS by Shari Randall. A new short story in the Lobster Shack series. Allie Larkin was looking forward to her trip to Austria: the snow, skiing, and a Sound of Music Tour. But she wasn’t expecting that the hills would be alive with the sound of…murder?
ONE FLEW OVER THE COCOA’S NEST by Cathy Wiley. A new short story in the Food Festival Fatalities series. Former celebrity chef Jackie Norwood was invited to judge a Hot Cocoa festival at a Utah ski resort. Instead, thanks to a blizzard and a murder, she ends up judging the guilt of her fellow guests.

Welcome!
Thank you for visiting my author page.
Since you're already here, you probably know that my name is Karen Cantwell. If you've seen my picture, you know I have silver hair. Hopefully you also know that I write the Barbara Marr Murder Mystery series, but if you didn't know that before... well, now you do!
Probably the most important thing you need to know about me is that I love to laugh and I love to make others laugh. When I set out to write the first Barbara Marr book back in 2009, my goal was to create a fun story with lovable characters--the kind of book that I'd like to read. Because I think we need a little more fun in the world and whole lot more laughter, right?
Besides the Barbara Marr books, I have two books in the Sophie Rhodes Ghostly Romance series, which features the endearing British ghost, Marmaduke Dodsworth. More than a few readers have told me he is quite the funny fellow. Try, KEEP ME GHOSTED first.
I also have many short stories - my. newest favorite, "The Dame and Thaddeus Birdwhistle," can be found in the mystery anthology, CHESAPEAKE CRIMES: INVITATION TO MURDER.
Public service announcement: the Barbara Marr books in order are, TAKE THE MONKEYS AND RUN (#1), CITIZEN INSANE (#2), SILENCED BY THE YAMS (#3), SATURDAY NIGHT CLEAVER (#4), DEAD MAN STALKING (#5), and DIAL MARR FOR MURDER (#6) The seventh book, RISKY FITNESS, will be released May of 2021.
I love hearing from readers and connecting with them on Facebook. Feel free to drop me a line at the email address below and/or like my Facebook page @karencantwellauthor
Again, thank you for stopping by and have a lovely day!

Fun Short Cozy Mysteries Collection

Reviewed in the United States on February 9, 2022

Verified Purchase

I love this collection! The stories were quick so I’m not going to delve into the mysteries. I have read some of the authors before so it was fun going on vacation with some of the characters, (hi Lucy and Katie). Three recipes were also included, (one being Azad’s shish kebabs-yum!). I adored going to the Dirty Dancing resort, attending the Wizard of Oz fest, taking the Sound of Music tour and learning about the sinkhole in the Pocano Mountains that wasn’t roped off! I could see where that inspired a story. All of the stories were amazing!
If you enjoy cozy mysteries, don’t pass this one up!

Quick, Fun Reads!

A solid 4 Star rating for the grouping of stories in this anthology. I enjoyed most of the stories—they were fun to read. Some had plots with more humor than other’s; there were all different kinds of winter settings, and each story could be read and enjoyed in about an hour’s time.

High Altitude Homicide

Reviewed in the United States on February 2, 2022

It’s murder and mayhem in the mountains in this collection of nine short stories. We get mountains from all over the world and stories set in every season, not just ski season. From a deadly hike or two to a hot chocolate contest with a dead body, there is plenty to keep you entertained.

Each story is from a different author, and each story is fun. A couple are filled with enough other things going on that the mysteries are short changed, but those are the exceptions. Many of these characters have appeared elsewhere, but that doesn’t truly matter as each story introduces you to the characters. These stories are on the long side for short stories; they averaged about 45 minutes each for me to read, so there is plenty here to keep you entertained. If you are missing a mountain vacation, this collection is perfect for you. Personally, I’m going to stay home where it is safe and pick up another book.
