A Mrs. Kelly Mystery, Book Three
In the heart of Old San Francisco, Mrs. Kelly’s dream life as a confectioner in the opulent Palace Hotel takes a deadly turn when a man she once accused of murder reappears on New Year’s Eve. Reverend Olsen and his companions are enjoying the festivities in the grand dining room, blissfully unaware that one of Mrs. Kelly’s signature desserts will bring the year and their celebration to a shocking end. After eating it, the reverend collapses—poisoned.
Detective Fisher has his hands full after a freak snowfall hits town, but a hasty summons adds a midnight murder to his plate. Mrs. Kelly is not only the prime suspect, but holds key background information on the individuals at the table. With a tenuous but desperate trust, he invites her to team up to solve the case.
Is their killer the grieving wife who dreams of the stage? The silent, stubborn handyman-turned-secretary? The devoted elderly widow who knows more than she will admit? The prodigal son whose past years are a mystery? Or is it the aloof Madame Fabbri who holds a contract signed by the deceased?
As the web of suspicion grows, Mrs. Kelly finds herself at its center with a single sparkling earring as her only clue. With her future hanging in the balance, and the hotel’s reputation on the line, the clock is ticking. And as the stakes rise, so does the threat: someone is willing to kill again to protect their secrets and no one in the Palace Hotel is safe.
