Jillian only wants to redecorate one room at the Novel Inn—but first she has to deal with murder.
Murder strikes Skirmish Cove during the coastal town’s winter carnival. Jillian Tunney, part owner of the nearby Novel Inn, discovers the body of a clerk at her favorite bookstore. With her sister Kate and brother, Officer Rick Gage, she tries to find out who killed him.
Meanwhile, Jillian is immersed in redecorating one of the themed rooms, but Kate is annoyed when a mysterious guest at the inn doesn’t want to leave his room. The innkeepers find they have way too many secrets to solve.
My Review
This is the second in the
Back at the inn we see an assortment of guests including one who seems to have a secret. I like the mystery inside a mystery element. It is good revisiting old friends and some new ones. I had my suspicions about who was involved but I wasn’t expecting the answer. My favourite mysteries is where the killer isn’t obvious from half way through the book. finding out with the ones trying to unravel the mystery makes it all the better. I would love to stay at this in and definitely the Hornblower room although if they ever decided to do a Narnia room I think that would get my vote.
If you like cosy mysteries you can’t go wrong with one of Susan’s books.
