Publisher Description
A picturesque small-town oasis, Harlow House Inn is the perfect home away from home…except there's a dead body in it.
Maiden Harlow has a big problem. She's a smart woman, she works hard and she's good at her job, but despite her best efforts to live a peaceful life, a heartless killer has turned everything upside down.
Golden Glen had always been the perfect town for Maiden and her family to run their elegant inn. But when a guest is found brutally murdered in their room, the tranquility is shattered. The inn had been locked up tight and no one staying there claims to have heard or seen anything strange.
The new head of the police department, Captain McAlister, sees everyone as a possible suspect, including Maiden and her family. She must navigate his suspicions while trying to uncover the truth. But with an inn full of potential murderers that aren't allowed to leave town and some mysteriously disappearing clues, it's not going to be easy.
As she digs deeper she finds a web of lies and betrayal and begins to wonder if all the guests are as unknown to each other as they claim. They're trapped with a killer and everyone is in danger. Can Maiden rely on her sharp memory and eccentric friends to crack the case before someone else ends up dead?

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
A Midwestern hotel employee reinvents herself as an amateur sleuth in Sharp's endearing debut cozy. Maiden Harlow works at the Harlow House Inn in Golden Glen, Mich., alongside her parents and her sister, Vonny. Most days consist of little more than lugging bags up and down stairs and managing the occasional hotheaded guest. Then a man named Mr. Creevey, who arrived at the inn with no ID and few possessions, is found in his room with his head bashed in. After police captain David McAlister learns that Maiden had a heated argument with the dead man when she caught him trying to hack the inn's computer system, he pins her as his lead suspect. To clear her name, Maiden sets out to solve the murder herself, following a trail of clues that leads to an unprecedented bank robbery in a neighboring town. Sharp doesn't reinvent the wheel, but her plotting is brisk and she makes Maiden's wobbly first attempts at detecting feel plausible. This a diverting whodunit for fans of Murder, She Wrote.
