I received this book as a gift. Good reading and fun for mystery

I received this book as a gift. Good reading and fun for mystery readers. Reminds me of Miss Marple type sluething. I plan on reading the author's other books soon. My only critical comment would be that the proof reader seems to have missed a few things, however they are slight errors and easy to read around. Thanks for an entertaining light read.

New author is enchanting

I purchased this book from the author in a little shop in Newport while on a trip. I thought I would take a chance on it since I was able to actually meet her. I was not disappointed. Reminds me of Agatha Christie or a modern day Nick Charles. Anxious to read Ms. Sutton's next book.

Fabulous new series set in Newport, RI

The Hargreaves have come to Kenwood Court Inn in Newport, Rhode Island, to celebrate Lionel and Emily¿s anniversary. Very quickly Caroline Kent, proprietor of Kenwood Court, realizes that there is a lot of bad blood between Lionel and his brother Maurice. It appears Maurice doesn¿t get along with many in the family. Then Maurice ends up shot in the gazebo. Caroline begins to look into things to help Lt. Hank Nightengale solve the murder. Her mother-in-law Mrs. Kent who lives with her assists. Their cook Mattie does not approve. Since the Hargreaves have just arrived, they are pretty sure it had to be one of the family members who came for the weekend. Or it could be the company attorney Mark. Everyone seems to have an alibi but also to have a motive for the murder. As Lt. Nightengale and Caroline both get close to figuring out the murder, there¿s another murder. Now more than ever Caroline is determined to get to the bottom of things. When her husband died in a car crash, Caroline decided to turn the family home into an Inn. She is concerned that the publicity of these deaths will close the Inn down. To keep that from happening, she turns up the heat and works diligently to find the killer, without putting herself or Mrs. Kent in too much danger. I love the Newport setting. We stopped in Newport for lunch on our way through New England. It has always held a place in my heart. I hope to go back. Kenwood Court sounds like a terrific type place to stay. This book is so rich with information about the area and the mansions. I loved all the descriptions. You can tell the author knows the area well. It made me want to return even more! I like Caroline and the relationship she has with her mother-in-law. I am hoping for a romantic interest to blossom in this series. This is the first in what I hope to be a long-running series! I highly recommend this book.
