Former English professor Cat Latimer is back in Colorado, hosting writers’ retreats in the big blue Victorian she’s inherited, much to her surprise, from none other than her carousing ex-husband! Now it’s an authors’ getaway—but Cat won’t let anyone get away with murder…
The bed-and-breakfast is open for business, and bestselling author Tom Cook is among its first guests. Cat doesn’t know why he came all the way from New York, but she’s glad to have him among the quirkier—and far less famous—attendees.
Cat’s high school sweetheart Seth, who’s fixing up the weathered home, brings on mixed emotions for Cat…some of them a little overpowering. But it’s her uncle, the local police chief, whom she’ll call for help when there’s a surprise ending for Tom Cook in his cozy guest room. Will a killer have the last word on the new life Cat has barely begun? (Summary via Goodreads)
A Story to Kill was so fun to read !!! If you like getting lost in a book, this is a book you must read !!! The setting of most of the story is in a bed and breakfast whose owner is focusing on it being a Writer's Retreat.
Cat inherits the house from her ex-husband according to his will. She moves back into it with her best friend, Shauna. Shauna does all of the cooking, errands and dealing with the guests so that Cat can continue writing her 3rd book. Unfortunately one of the guests is found murdered in his room and he was a very popular author. Luckily Cat's uncle is the Police Chief so he is on top of everything. But who would want to kill the author ? Who knew he was there ? Could it have been one of the other guests ?
Once the murder occurs the week goes downhill pretty quick. Will this be the end of Cat's dream to have a bed and breakfast writer's retreat ??? Can Uncle Pete solve the murder before the end of the week ?
Cat has so much going on between running the bed and breafast, trying to get her word count in every day and trying to get a grasp on her feelings for Seth, her high school sweetheart who just so happens to be working on renovations to the house as well as keep the current guests some what satisfied or at least keep them alive.
Lynn Cahoon has a great first book in this Cat Latimer Mystery series.... I LOVED getting lost in the big bed and breakfast. I felt like I was a guest...... Need a retreat of your own ? Wanna get away for a bit ? Let Lynn and Cat take you there.
