Description:

Cat Latimer and her writer’s retreat group go on a hiking trip—but a murderer has been lurking off the beaten path . . .

Cat’s sweetheart, Seth, is going all out on an outing into the local mountains—for the benefit of the writing group Cat’s hosting at her Colorado B&B. But when they try to identify some plant and animal life, they find death instead. The body belongs to a man with a gold claim a few miles away. Instead of striking it rich, he’s been struck down.

To his surprise, Seth recognizes the victim from his military days—and up to now believed he’d already died during his last tour of duty. Now Cat has to solve this mystery before the killer takes a hike . . .

My Thoughts: 

Cat Latimer has her hands full with her latest writing group which consists of couples and a college guy.  Seth her boyfriend has his hands full with a reunion with his military group.  When they find a dead military guy that Seth knew the question becomes who killed him and why and does it connect with the military tour in Germany?

This book had so much going on you see the stress of Cat writing a new series about a boot camp not sure if anyone will pick it up/  The different type of group this is because they are mostly couples minus the one college student whose afraid to show his story to his professor.  

Then there is Seth and his military friends some of them make no bones about the fact Cat broke Seth's heart, which I don't think helps but Cat can't help but wonder who committed murder and why?  At times you wonder if this will be the thing that comes between the two of them.
