Winter has drawn to a close in the mountainside town of Modest Peak and Spring is finally in the air. For Constance Aberfield, the proprietor of The Lone Peak Hotel, this would usually be as welcome as whipped cream on chocolate cake, but for once it just isn't so. The town's annual Spring Fair is just a week away and as Constance is a member of the Town Council, the Business Club and even an honorary Girl Guide, she's found herself busier than a weatherman in a tornado. But if anyone can cope, it's Constance.Things aren't made any easier when a problem guest by the name of Mr. Christie turns up to her hotel and manages to get on everyone's last nerve like he has a point to prove. Jf Constance found this to be an inconvenience, it's made all the worse when Mr. Christie stumbles home drunk from the bar one night and dies in the hotel lobby.Everyone is a suspect and where Constance doesn't usually go about solving murders, she learns that if the case isn't wrapped up quickly, her hotel might be forced to close its doors for good. There's a Spring Fair to organize, a murder to solve and less than a week to do it in. But, if anyone can, it's Constance Aberfield.First Volume of the Lone Peak Hotel Series.
