Description
At the stately Mariners Hotel, a breathless man rushes into the lobby and dashes upstairs to see a dapper guest. But moments later he discovers that his friend has been murdered…
Sukey Reynolds has finally realised her ambition to become a fully-fledged detective, earning her stripes and joining the police force. After years as an amateur sleuth, she is now a proper investigator. But will she do it by the book? Can she resist a bit of extra snooping?
When Sukey receives news of her first murder case at the elegant Mariners Hotel, she is intrigued. Who could possibly have wanted to hurt Dr Whistler, a shy and retiring archaeology professor? The dusty documents he was carrying couldn’t possibly be of value, could they?
You would never expect this sophisticated establishment to be home to murder. What secrets are hiding inside the charming Mariners Hotel?
Sukey’s superiors are convinced that Dr Whistler’s visitor is his killer, but Sukey isn’t so sure and decides to do a little side-sleuthing. Someone in the hotel has a secret, but who is it? The bewildered bellboy, the meddlesome manager or the reclusive receptionist?
A mysterious phone call leads Sukey to the truth, but as a rookie detective, will anyone believe she has what it takes to solve this baffling mystery?
Do you love cozy mysteries by Agatha Christie, Faith Martin and Joy Ellis? If so, make this twisty and absolutely page-turning whodunnit your next read!
