Ice Cold Murder

Ice Cold Murder is Book 2 in The Charlie Kingsley Mystery series by USA Today bestselling author Michele PW (Pariza Wacek). Ideal for cozy mystery fans, especially readers who love clean, twisty and funny cozy mysteries that include tea, pets, baking, small towns, quirky side characters and a touch of romance. "If you like snuggling up on a comfy couch with piping hot tea and a throw blanket while reading cozy mysteries way into the night, then this one is perfect for you!""Charlie has a way about herself, studying the facts and other information. She reminds of Miss Marple. People trust her and confide in her. Good story." When Charlie agrees to accompany her friend Claire to her late grandmother's reading of the will, she assumes she is simply there for moral support. She doesn't expect things to get so... strange. It's odd enough that it takes place over a weekend, but that's just the beginning ... They also need to stay in Claire's grandma's supposedly haunted house with Claire's estranged family. Things get even worse when a huge storm snows them in. No electricity, no phone, and no way out. Throw a dead body into the mix, and there's no question it's now the world's worst family gathering. Ever. At least Charlie brought lots of tea, which she's going to need as she races to solve this closed-circle mystery before her friend's dysfunctional family get-together results in anyone else being murdered. Meet Charlie. Also known as "Aunt Charlie" from the award-winning Secrets of Redemption series. She's back, making teas and solving cases in this funny, twisty, cozy mystery series set in the 1990s in Redemption, Wisconsin. A USA Today Bestselling, award-winning author, Michele taught herself to read at 3 years old because she wanted to write stories so badly. It took some time (and some detours) but now she does spend much of her time writing stories. Mystery stories, to be exact. They're clean and twisty, and range from psychological thrillers to cozies, with a dash of romance and supernatural thrown into the mix. If that wasn't enough, she posts lots of fun things on her blog, including short stories, puzzles, recipes and more, at MPWNovels.com.

Michele grew up in Wisconsin, (hence why all her books take place there), and still visits regularly, but she herself escaped the cold and now lives in the mountains of Prescott, Arizona with her husband and southern squirrel hunter Cassie.

When she's not writing, she's usually reading, hanging out with her dog, or watching the Food Network and imagining she's an awesome cook. (Spoiler alert, she's not. Luckily for the whole family, Mr. PW is in charge of the cooking.)
