The Hotel Westend: A Mystery

by Francois Allard-Huver

Overview

When the timid yet curious Elsie Maitland stumbles upon a small, seaside town, she takes a room in the lone hotel on top of the cliffs--but something's amiss. A curious group of guests has been assembled by an unknown host, but what's even more puzzling is that not even the guests seem to know why. What they do know, however, is that they were all suspects in an unsolved murder twenty years earlier, a murder that took place at this very hotel. History soon repeats itself when an unassuming reverend is bludgeoned to death and the hotel's maid is poisoned, leaving the guests to wonder, who's next?

"Oh, my! What a treat it is for a reader who loves mysteries to find a new one that is simply a delight in every way...I loved The Hotel Westend. Loved. It. The author has done a stellar job in creating interesting characters that her readers will find intriguing and relatable. This story line is fresh and full of surprises... I highly recommend The Hotel Westend to any reader who loves a good mystery, or just a great work of fiction in general. 5 Stars

"I was just a tiny bit skeptical when I began Ashley Lynch-Harris's traditional drawing room murder mystery. I did wonder if she would be able to pull off a mystery novel so steeped in that tradition & have it be both original and unpredictable at the same time. My concerns [were] all for naught. [This] mystery is cunning & intricately plotted with scads of red herrings draped all over the storyline. This solidly plotted & oh so smoothly written story kept me glued to the pages. 5 Stars

"A charming homage to the classic mystery...Lynch-Harris playfully indulges genre tropes, raising readers' suspicions equally among multiple characters..."
