Description

A beautiful oasis in scenic northern Michigan, Golden Glen is teeming with orchards, wineries and charm...murder wasn't in the brochure.

Maiden Harlow leads a peaceful life helping to run her family's inn, Harlow House. At least it was peaceful, until an unpopular guest is violently killed and left in his locked and undisturbed room while an inn full of guests sleep peacefully. No one claims to have heard or seen anything. Throw feuding guests, nosy friends and a bank robbery into the mix and things start to get dangerously complicated.

Maiden is up to her neck in trouble as rumors spread and she finds herself under suspicion by Captain McAlister, the new head of the local police department. Sparks fly and tempers clash but then a second murder raises the stakes even further.

With the inn crawling with cops, and possibly a murderer, their reputation and future are on the line. Armed with an observant mind, an unusually sharp memory and a lot of eccentric friends, Maiden is on the case.

Between keeping her family safe, the guests calm, and grappling with her unfortunate habit of accidently hitting on the new cop every time they meet, Maiden's hands are full. Despite that, she needs to find the killer before her family’s business is ruined or someone else ends up dead.

If you love funny, romantic mysteries with clever heroines and twisty plots, you’ll love Murder Checks Inn. Grab your copy and enjoy!

There's a new top cop in town who thought he was moving from big city problems to a sleepy small town. Instead, he gets bank robbery, murders, fellow cops with brains that get switched off when looking at Mai Harlow (himself included), and a family of suspects who are beyond quirky.
The hotel guest was obnoxious and tried to get into the hotel computer, but Mai confronted and stopped him. The next morning, he was dead on the floor in his room. But not killed there. Lots of big laughs and droll humor in this really interesting murder mystery!
I requested and received a free temporary EARC from the Camille Sharp (IBPA) via NetGalley. Thank you.

Thank you so much to NetGalley and Camille Sharp for providing me with a complimentary digital ARC for Murder Checks Inn released on August 15, 2024. The honest opinions expressed in this review are my own.

This is the first book I’ve read by this author. Maiden is an interesting choice for a character name…But besides that, I loved it! I think an inn is a fun and cozy setting for a murder mystery. I thought the guy was pretty shady. Maiden handled things pretty well under the circumstances and she was good at her job. I think Maiden was a smart character. The characters were fun. It felt like a really cozy mystery. I would definitely check out more books by this author!

I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys cozy mysteries!
