The third of McCaffrey's 'Dublin' books, although this one only starts and end in Dublin.
Widowed children's author and Ph.D. Dana Jane Lovell goes on a lecture tour in the US. Snowbound in Denver, she meets a personable man, Daniel Jerome Lowell and has a brief fling with him. Splitting up after the snow lets up, Dana continues her tour. At the end of the tour, her son contacts her - a Denver lawyer has been trying to contact her - Dan Lowell is accused of murdering his ex-wife while in Denver, and needs Dana's testimony to clear him.
Suffice it to say, all ends happily, and presumably, ever-after. Light and readable.

A simple mystery that provides a backdrop for a lovely romance. A childrens author is snowed in at a hotel where she has a one night stand. Then, the man's ex-wife turns up dead and she is his only alibi - only he doesn't know where to find her. Wonderful.

I loved this book which is so very different from her fantasy series.

-- Children's author Dana Lovell is on a book tour when a blizzard leaves her snowbound in Denver where she spends a few days with Dan. They don't talk much about themselves. They swim in hotel pool & watch movies. When Dana learns Dan is suspected of killing his wife she doesn't believe he's guilty. Children & academic degrees contribute to a happy ending. STITCH IN SNOW setting is Ireland as well as USA. Barman is Declan & friend is Mairead. Characters enjoy tumblers of Carlsburg. Dana knits Arran sweaters, & McCaffrey has knitted a delightful novel. --
Not her most impressive work.
