Cold Reception: A Callahan Inn Mystery (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798192937068)

Book One in the Callahan Inn Mysteries

Snowed in with six suspects. Only one of them is lying about everything.

A year after inheriting the Callahan Inn from her aunt, Jo Callahan is still learning the difference between running a business and running a life. Six strangers and one bad storm should have felt almost normal until the roads iced shut and one of her guests-turned out to have secrets worth killing over-left in a body bag.

Jo spent nine years in a Boston ER learning exactly how fast a room can turn from fine to not fine. She never expected to need that instinct again, but with the power failing, the phones dead, and six frightened guests who all have a reason to lie to her, she's the only one under this roof both trained and stubborn enough to find out which of them did it.

She has three days, a snowbound inn, and six suspects who all seem, infuriatingly, like people her aunt would have liked. She'd better find the killer before the thaw does.
