In this first book of the series, Murder In The Inn, Sandy has just inherited a historic inn in Washington D.C., and is settling into her new role as innkeeper. Many details about Washington DC make readers feel they are walking the streets of the capital. When she learns that the former owner died in a fall, Sandy begins to suspect it was murder, not natural causes. She teams up with her quirky step-daughter Janie and reliable housekeeper Noah to untangle the web of suspects and solve the murder. Each chapter begins with a telephone conversation between the warm and relatable. All books include recipes from the Inn at the end for and added layer of enjoyment.
