Murder in the Mystery Suite (Book Retreat Mysteries #1)

Murder in the Mystery Suite by Ellery Adams is the first book in her Book Retreat Mysteries which take place at a hotel for people who love books.

Storyton Hall in Storyton, Virginia is a book lover's paradise. Jane Stewart runs the hotel in a manor house her ancestor moved from England and had rebuilt in the country. The inn has a huge library and employs a librarian among the large staff. But maintaining a huge property is expensive and if Jane doesn't increase the number of guests she will never catch up with repairs.

That is why Jane has created the Murder and Mayhem Week - a retreat with a scavenger hunt and mystery themed games and activities - with a first edition book by a popular mystery author as the prize.

Murder in the Mystery Suite is a great book for people who love to read mysteries and are well read. There are numerous references to popular mystery authors and storytellers. The town and inn are filled with quirky characters who would fit in well in Stars Hollow from Gilmore Girls.
