It's 1952. Reporter Sydney Lockhart checks into the historic Arlington Hotel in Hot Springs, Arkansas. Before she even unpacks, she discovers the brutally murdered body of the hotel's bookkeeper. What had begun as a simple travel-writing assignment now turns into a murder investigation. The bad news is that Sydney is a suspect. Determined to clear her name and prove herself a reporter deserving more than just travel assignments, Sydney becomes embroiled in the underworld of gangsters and gamblers. In her fight for the truth, she soon faces a more urgent battle-saving her own skin.

This review is from: Murder at the Arlington (Paperback)
My biggest surprise when I first read this manuscript was getting hooked on the first page. Yes first time... I actually read this book three times. That is something that never happens to me when I read a book. Better still, the plot continued to pull me in even further as I progressed through the pages. Sydney Lockhart is an unwitting sleuth who just seems to walk into trouble and when the going gets tough, Sydney manages to find more trouble. The characters are people much like I would have as my own friends so it was easy to feel both their pain and joys. I caught myself laughing one minute and holding my breath for the next five minutes. The writing is excellent and played out visually like cinema in my head. Readers beware, only the mystery of the incidents are solved but the mystery of Sydney and her life continue. That is the good news. Sydney Lockhart is part of a much larger plan you feel from the beginning. I hear there are other volumes in the future, and the reader will definitely want to know Sydney better and see what incredible antics happen to her next. The escape factor of reading Murder at the Arlington equals one week in Hawaii. My fond memories continue.

Great Fun!,

This review is from: Murder at the Arlington (Paperback)
I loved this book. Peopled with likable charactors, including a heroine who is feisty without being vulgar or hard-boiled, there are enough twists and turns in the plot to keep it interesting. The setting is charming and the writing lively. I felt as if I was there at the Arlington in 1950's Hot Springs. I can't wait for the next installment. Where will Sydney go next?
