[Melissa Craig 04] • Murder at the Manor Hotel

Much to the dismay of her literary agent, Melissa Craig has taken time away from writing best-selling mysteries to script a murder play for an amateur drama group. Murder with a giggle is how she thinks of it. But no one is laughing when a cast member meets a fatal accident in the cellar of the old Cotswold Heyshill Manor Hotel where the play was to be produced. Persuaded by the manager to investigate, Melissa finds...nothing. No well-ordered clues, no sure suspects, just lots of tension. Then she chances upon a vital discovery in the hotel's parking lot, and everything begins to fall into place. This isn't a matter of "murderous plots and murky deeds, all in rhyming couplets" but a death-defying journey along a trail of crime on an international scale.
