This suspenseful "whodunnit" exposes the fascinating underside of Vail's ski-town culture when arson massively damaged the resorts of the Colorado mountains in 1998. The investigation in the ultra-rich town reveals a strange, complicated community where everyone is a logical suspect.

Unsatisfying and dated. I'm not sure it's a “mystery” if you never know the culprit. Also, the events (ecoterrorism at Vail)took place before September 11 and the economic crisis, and the world described feels naive and idealistic (even if we were naive and idealistic then). Don't bother.
