A fire has started, and a life has ended.
Wouldn’t you check out of this quiet, boutique hotel as fast as you could? Rebecca Sanderson has just settled into the Bluebonnet, an adorable little B&B that operates in the shadow of the massive luxury Ranch Resort just up the country road in Trickle Springs, Texas. When she’s wrenched from a deep sleep by the wail of sirens, alarms, and the strobing red lights of fire trucks racing into the Bluebonnet’s front yard, she’s faced with that very decision. The fire, however, isn’t the most disturbing event of the night. The body of Travis Murphy, manager of the Ranch Resort, has been discovered by a guest near the Bluebonnet’s porch steps. While Murphy had enemies all over town, his biggest, loudest enemy was Brianna, owner of the Bluebonnet, and an outspoken critic of his business practices. She’s now the prime suspect in Travis’s murder. And she is Rebecca Sanderson’s sister. Resorting to Arson is a scorching addition to the Resorting series from award-winning author Gail Hulnick. If you’re a fan of Richard Osman and Robert Thorogood, and if you enjoy a quick-witted amateur sleuth in a captivating setting, this short read cozy mystery is for you. |
