[Sweetfern Harbor Mystery 13] • Is This Suitcase Taken?

**An amateur sleuth B &B owner, a weekend wedding, and a dead body in a

suitcase. Another murder mystery in the cozy beach town of Sweetfern

Harbor...**

Brenda Rivers welcomes guests to Sheffield Bed and Breakfast with her

Reservationist, Allie Williams. In the meantime, everyone is excited for the

wedding of Brenda’s father and her Chef scheduled for that afternoon. Allie

greets the booked guests and takes note of one who hits her the wrong way.

Patrick Anderson is outspoken and rude. Few, if any in his life, like him.

Most of the weekenders decide to attend the wedding except for Patrick, Rick

Dawson, Carrie Porter and Daniel Swift. Each voice courteous reasons and they

leave to pursue interests along the shoreline below the bed and breakfast or

in Sweetfern Harbor shops. As the wedding celebrations begin after the

ceremony, Detective Mac Rivers is called to the Precinct. A dead body has been

left at the back door of the Police Station. Inside the over-sized footlocker

are the remains of Patrick Anderson.

It doesn’t take Brenda long to discover one of her guests, Alexandra Cornell,

possesses fleeting personalities. Alexandra finally admits she witnessed

Patrick’s murder from her perch on the seawall during the celebrations. Brenda

decides that Alexandra’s changeable moods is the culprit of Brenda’s doubts

about her story. When Daniel Swift is fingered in the crime, he must prove his

vowed innocence against someone who vouches seeing him commit the murder. Just

as Brenda and Mac begin to hone in on the true killer, they discover one guest

is missing. Alexandra mentions he is running away but gives no reason.

Brenda must decide who killed Patrick and who assisted in the deed. Rick

Dawson is missing, Daniel swears he is innocent, and Alexandra is too fragile

to win against an athletic man like Patrick Anderson. Above all, the questions

become who to believe and where will the evidence lead them in solving this

crime.
