Publisher's Summary

Storyton Hall, Virginia, is a paradise for book lovers who come from all over for literary getaways. But manager Jane Steward is temporarily leaving for another renowned resort - in hopes of solving a twist-filled mystery....

Jane's boyfriend, Edwin, is missing, and she thinks she may find him at North Carolina's historic Biltmore Estate. Officially, she's there to learn about luxury hotel management, but she's also prowling around the breathtaking buildings and grounds looking for secret passageways and clues. One of the staff gardeners promises to be helpful...that is, until his body turns up in the reading room of his cottage, a book on his lap.

When she finally locates the kidnapped Edwin, his captor insists that she lead him back to Storyton Hall, convinced that it houses Ernest Hemingway's lost suitcase, stolen from a Paris train station in 1922. But before they can turn up the treasure, the bell may toll for another victim....

AWESOME

This is the 5th time I have read this book. I own this book because I can read it over and over again, love the characters, despise the bad guy. I recommend this book to all
Readers.

Disappointing

The direction the story took on several levels was very disappointing. I was looking forward to reading the 6th story when I started this one, but now have no further interest in what was previously a mysterious and enchanting setting and engaging characters. And the last hour of this story was nearly coma-inducing. And several of the protagonist’s decisions make her even less heroine-worthy than she’s been in the earlier books. The strength of the setting and supporting characters used to help carry the story. But that has been completely undermined now.
