Summary

Only the grieving can relate to the massive hole left in your heart by the death of a loved one. Professor McManus attempts to leave a painful past behind her. She closes the door on all that is familiar and moves to Rivertown, Florida.

While taking her students on a field trip, Maggie finds the flamboyant director of sales and marketing, Hannah Johnson, lying on the floor in the hotel boardroom draped in a tablecloth with one shiny red high heel boot exposed— blood seeping from under the tablecloth a sure sign she's dead.

Recently appointed hotel manager, Trip Evans, is already enmeshed in a marketing challenge to overcome the unsavory past reputation of the newly renovated hotel; adding a dead body to the mix is sure to scare off customers.

The lackadaisical detectives assigned to the case seem to be making no headway, leaving Maggie and Trip no choice but to find the killer themselves.

Author Biography

Marcia Dove is an avid reader of mystery novels, inspired by her late grandmother, Edith, a faithful follower of Agatha Christi. A former hospitality professional for over thirty years, Marcia writes about what she knows best; hospitality, the business of people— no stranger to the glamourous but often stressful world of hotel management. With a minor in Psychology, she approaches character-building introspectively—real-world people with all their frailties. Her books include a splash of romance, and a peek at hotel life from a former general manager's perspective.

Earning her MBA in International Hotel and Tourism in 2004, she embarked on a new career as a Hospitality Instructor. She continues to teach part-time online and loves interacting with her students from all walks of life.

Marcia lives in Ocala, Florida, with her three orange cats, Freddie, Cupcake, and Pumpkin. Much of her time is devoted to writing her upcoming three-part Maggie McManus Mystery series.
