No Clue at the Inn

Two years after selling the Pennyfoot Hotel and moving to London, Cecily Sinclair is offered the chance to manage her former seaside establishment once again. Now married to Hugh Baxter, the hotel’s former manager, she returns to Badger’s End for what should be a joyful Christmas reunion.

But the festivities take a troubling turn when a housemaid vanishes without explanation. Then a prominent barrister disappears as well.

As Cecily searches for a connection between the two missing people, she finds herself drawn back into the Pennyfoot’s familiar world of whispered scandals, guarded secrets, and suspicious guests. Behind its elegant Edwardian façade, aristocrats pursue illicit affairs, gamble in hidden rooms, and depend on the discreet staff to protect their reputations.

With Christmas approaching and fear spreading through the hotel, Cecily must uncover the truth before the holiday reunion becomes a killer’s perfect cover.

A festive historical mystery filled with vanished guests, wintry village intrigue, hotel secrets, and a long-awaited return to the Pennyfoot.
