Murder in the Guestbook: A Country Inn Mystery with Hidden Pasts, False Names, and a Killer Who Knows the House

About Murder in the Guestbook: A Country Inn Mystery with Hidden Pasts, False Names, and a Killer Who Knows the House

A storm seals Larkbourne inside its oldest country inn. I came to write a harmless feature for The Parish Paper. By morning, a guest is dead.

The innkeeper swears no one left their rooms. The village wants a tidy explanation and a fast scapegoat. But the guestbook register does not agree.

A name appears that should not exist. A page looks wrong. And a brass key tag marked ROOM 4 turns the inn into a map of secret corridors, false identities, and meetings nobody will admit to.

I am Pip Sloane, and I have learned this about Larkbourne: when the story gets polished too quickly, someone is hiding the truth. With Biscuit at my heels and DS Tom Harker forced into lockdown with the rest of us, I follow the only trail the storm cannot erase. Ink.

Paper. And proof. Murder in the Guestbook Register is a clean, twisty English countryside cozy mystery with locked-in suspects, hidden routes, and a killer who knows the house.
