Pennyfoot Hotel Mysteries
by Kate Kingsbury
Cecily Baxter, formerly Cecily Sinclair, is back along with the Pennyfoot Hotel staff and husband, former butler,
Baxter. Pennyfoot Hotel is celebrating Christmas and there are only 3 things Cecily’s wishing for: Baxter to make it
home safely, Father Christmas to make his appearance - quickly - and the season to pass without tragedy. Well, one
out of three isn’t bad, especially when you’re talking about Badger’s Drift and the Pennyfoot Hotel. It’s a season
to be salvaged as Cecily and Baxter deal with personal secrets, multiple murders and cranky constables.
The gang is back and as entertaining as ever. Baxter is still the backbone of the bunch - well, when he’s not
avoiding Cecily’s questions about the French opera singer. Cecily may not own the Pennyfoot anymore, but she’s
still the grand dame rescuing - blessing even - those she adores. And you can’t help but get a familiar feeling
at the sound of broken dishes mingled with arguing voices and a faux French accent drifting from the kitchen. It’s
a holiday mystery full of red herrings and holiday spirit. Highly recommended. |
