Book Description
Alan Davis and Jennifer Foster have a lot at stake in pulling
off their first murder. They have invested their life savings
in the restoration of Cranmer House and are preparing to
launch their bed and breakfast with a murder mystery weekend. Guests are arriving from central Canada and from as
far away as British Columbia. The script is ready, the food
promises to be divine, and even the fog and icebergs are
cooperating to concoct a memorable experience. But it's
hard to plan a perfect murder, and things begin to go wildly
wrong. Theatrical friends coming to play parts in the
mystery become embroiled in their private passions. Some
of the guests can barely tolerate each other. And could it be
that some of them are not who they seem to be? As events
escalate and secrets emerge from the past, is it possible that
there's a real murderer among them? All the while, a
devoted amateur sleuth is at work unraveling an odd chain
of incidents Gordon Inglis tells a tale rich in wit and
humour, steeped in the atmosphere of outport Newfoundland, and filled with memorable characters.
