Murder at the Hotel

Meet Rina Martin, a retired actress with a taste for tea, gardening and crime solving. She played a TV sleuth for years, but now she has to do it for real. A body in the library - and a killer caught red-handed at the scene? Hammy acting, lazy scripting and dastardly suspects - Rina's not one for murder mystery weekends. But when she's invited to an exclusive event at the grand old Palisades Hotel, she can hardly say no. After check-in, the guests race to the cavernous library, where the game's about to begin - and William Toons, playing the wicked Lord Thursby, should already have met his fate. But when the door swings open, they're in for the shock of their lives. William is very much alive. And covered in blood that's anything but fake. All eyes are on the real-life corpse at his feet. 'I didn't do it!' he cries. But if not Will, then who . . . ? The clock is ticking for Rina to find out before the final curtain! If you love Agatha Christie, Jeanne M. Dams, Glenda Young, Stella Cameron, M.C. Beaton and Frances Evesham, prepare to be hooked by this page-turning whodunnit mystery.
