Someone resorts to murder and mayhem in the first mystery in the New York Times bestselling Book Retreat series...
Tucked away in the rolling hills of rural western Virginia is the storybook resort of Storyton Hall, catering to book lovers who want to get away from it all. To increase her number of bookings, resort manager Jane Steward has decided to host a Murder and Mayhem week so that fans of the mystery genre can gather together for some role-playing and fantasy crime solving.
But when the winner of the scavenger hunt, Felix Hampden, is found dead in the Mystery Suite, and the valuable book he won as his prize is missing, Jane realizes one of her guests is an actual murderer. Amid a resort full of fake detectives, Jane is bound and determined to find a real-life killer. There’s no room for error as Jane tries to unlock this mystery before another vacancy opens up…
Ellery Adams is definitely one of my favorite cozy mystery writers. This is a great quick read, and the setting of Storyton Hall is perfect.
** I did listen to this book on audio and I do NOT like the narrator. I can't get past her voices for the children (which aren't realistic at all, and kind of grating) and her pronunciation of gazebo as gah-ZAY-bo. Over. and Over. I'll be picking up a print copy of the rest of the series.
