Killing Time on Vacation - Kendall Scott - Bog

Constance Aberfield and her two best friends, Sydney and Eleanor, are on their way home from a much needed vacation when they stop for lunch in the small lakeside town of Crystal Blue Lakes. What is intended as a short layover is quickly extended when Constance's car refuses to start.They now have three days to kill. Sydney and Eleanor seem to like the town well enough, Constance can't get behind it. The hotel is weird, it's owner is a little off and everyone she comes across just doesn't seem right. Constance just wants to go home!But all thoughts of going home are put on hold when Eleanor scores herself a date with a local hottie, only for it to end up with her stumbling across a dead body. Naturally, Constance lends her hand to the case, wanting to ensure that Eleanor isn't convicted in any way. And besides, what better way to kill time than a quick investigation?What starts off as a relatively normal murder case becomes more and more complex as random bits of evidence that have no noticeable link to one another begin to pile up. And when Eleanor herself is eventually arrested, Constance will have to sort through the mess and make sense of the impossible if she has any chance of freeing her friend and returning home to the town she loves so much.Please Note: Sixth Volume of the the Lone Peak Hotel Mystery Series.
