A guest is dead. A town full of secrets. An innkeeper with a memory sharp enough to catch a killer.
Welcome to Golden Glen, a charming small town where everyone knows everyone’s business… until someone has a secret worth killing for.
Maiden Harlow never expected murder to become part of running her family’s beloved Harlow House Inn. But when a guest is found dead, the peaceful rhythm of small-town life is shattered, and every visitor becomes a suspect.
Newly appointed police captain David McAlister is determined to solve the case by following the evidence—and keeping civilians, especially Maiden, out of the investigation. But Maiden has always noticed the details others miss. Her extraordinary memory allows her to connect clues that might otherwise go unnoticed, drawing her ever deeper into a mystery that threatens the people and place she loves.
As suspicion spreads through the inn and long-hidden secrets begin to surface, Maiden and David must learn to trust each other’s strengths. He relies on experience and procedure. She relies on instincts and the memories no one else can piece together.
Together, they must uncover the truth before the killer strikes again.
Murder Checks Inn is the first novel in the Maiden Harlow Mysteries, a dark cozy mystery series filled with small-town secrets, clever clues, atmospheric suspense, slow-burn romance, and unforgettable characters.
Welcome to Golden Glen, where every familiar face has a story—and every story may hide a secret.
“A diverting whodunit.”
