Today I'm linking up with Carole from Carole's Random Life of Books for Books from the Backlog. I really enjoy the chance to feature a book that's been hiding in the piles of books for far too long!
Goodreads: Murder in the Mystery Suite by Ellery Adams
Blurb: 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…
Why This Needs to Come Off the Shelf: It's been on it for years and somehow I've never picked it up even though a bookish resort sounds amazing!
I must admit I've never really fancied any of these retreat places! I'm more of an explore on my own kind of person and do my own thing rather than arranged fun!
ReplyDeleteIt sounds very promising and has the kind of things that could make it really good reading.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a good one! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThis is an interesting and different sort of cozy series. I like it and hope you give it a try soon.
ReplyDeleteFun premise.
ReplyDeleteI want to go to this resort (maybe with out the murderer)! I think that this sounds like a lot of fun and I hope that you enjoy it when you get the chance to read it.
