Lori Keyes survived her first busy tourist season as the owner of a B&B in Dusky Cove—and she’s ready for a break. Lucky for her, this year’s Innkeepers Convention is in the closest big city, Wilmington. Lori’s friends and mentors from last year, Howard and Vera Bugh, are coming to stay with her. Lori’s looking forward to learning new things, sharing great food, and enjoying time with her friends. But cracks are showing in the Bughs’ marriage, and the convention seems to hold more enemies than allies. And Lori isn’t the only one in trouble. When her friend is found dead in Dusky Cove, can Lori find the person responsible before they kill again? Inn Vain: Lori’s got a new style and a new lease on life—too bad her stylist’s boss doesn’t. After a year of running a B&B in the resort town of Dusky Cove, Lori Keyes is ready for something new. She’s tired of feeling frumpy. A new stylist, Jonah, gives her a new look that shaves off ten years and shows her spunk right away. Lori has never been happier with how she looks and feels. When she comes back to thank Jonah, however, she finds his surly supervisor stabbed in the lobby. The murder weapon? Jonah’s scissors. Jonah is the prime suspect, but he insists he’s innocent—and Lori believes him. When he hears about Lori’s past success in unraveling mysteries, he begs her to help. Will her efforts all be in vain? Or can she clear his name before he goes to prison for a murder he didn’t commit? Inn Dire Straits: Lori finally meets her future daughter-in-law—but when the murders start, can she keep her safe? Lori Keyes is gearing up for her second busy summer running a B&B in Dusky Cove when she gets great news: her son is finally bringing his girlfriend to meet her. Lori knows this is big, so she wants everything at her B&B—and the rest of the town—to be perfect for Annie. Although she knows her son is dating a local girl, Lori can’t plan for what happens when they run into someone from Annie’s past—or when he alludes to a dark secret. But her plans don’t really go awry until Annie’s old friend winds up the victim of a hit-and-run. Everyone thinks Annie looks guilty, leaving her in dire straits. She pleads with Lori to prove her innocence. Lori will have to dig into the long-buried past and uncover those secrets to figure out who killed Annie’s friend before the killer turns on Annie next. Inn Danger: Lori’s favorite handyman is hiding a dark secret… After two busy years of running her B&B, Lori Keyes almost feels like one of the natives of the resort town of Dusky Cove. She’s even found love with another lifelong resident, Mitch Griffin, the local handyman. But just when it seems he’s about to pop the question, someone surfaces from his past, literally. Fishing lines drag up a dead body: Mitch’s wife who’s been missing, presumed dead, for ten years. There’s no way she’s been in the waterway for a decade—or even a day. Ten years after the first time, Mitch is once again the prime suspect in his wife’s murder, and the mounting evidence against him clearly has him in danger of losing any defense. Lori will have to put aside her feelings if she wants to find out the truth and save Mitch from a life in prison. Or maybe to send him exactly where he deserves.
