"Shrewdly crafted puzzle"
Nestled in the foothills of the North Carolina mountains
lies the Hatteras West Inn. Also on the land owned by the
inn's proprietor Alex Winston is a duplicate of the Cape
Hatteras Lighthouse and its' outer buildings. As a favor
to his friend Shantara Robinson, he is allowing the Golden
Days Fair to be held on the property. The biggest draw to
the fair is Jefferson Lee, a blacksmith with a national
reputation and an ego to match. Jefferson is trying to drive his closest competitor, Bill
Yadkin out of business. Bill publicly and forcefully disses
his rival to Alex. When Jefferson is found murdered on an
isolated part of the property, suspicion immediately falls
on Bill but there are many other people who had reason to
want to see the blacksmith dead. As Alex sleuths aound he
should remember that too much curiosity can get one killed. Tim Myers proves that he is no one book wonder as
RESERVATIONS FOR MURDER lives up to the promise of his
first novel in the Lighthouse Inn mystery series
INNKEEPING FOR MURDER. The protagonist is a likable and
believable character whose loyalty to his friends makes him
an admirable human being. His inquisitiveness propels him
into involvement in a homicide investigation even though he
has to take time away from his precious inn. The mystery
is a shrewdly crafted puzzle that will catch and keep
reader interest. Harriet Klausner
