BLURB:
The Painted Lady Inn
is open for business and limping along in the B and B world. A high school
reunion package assembles Donna’s least desirable classmates, including the
backstabbing cheerleader, her narcissistic high school crush, and Arnie, whose
cheesy poem had everyone calling her, hot mama. It’s all something she liked to
forget. These are the normal guests.
An octogenarian self-proclaimed sleuth, Father Christmas, a dognapping couple, and a pair who is copying everything in the Inn to set up their own competitive establishment rounds out the group. Maria, the sister-in-law, has a matchmaking agenda for Donna. Daniel, her brother, finds himself serving as a referee with one guest’s multiple wives.
High school reunions can be murder. Detective Mark Taber is on the trail of the murderer, when he isn’t interfering in a smitten Arnie’s determined bid to woo the no nonsense innkeeper.

Excerpt:
“Hello. Welcome to The Painted Lady Inn. Thanks for choosing
the Lady for your weekend getaway.” She held the smile in place, questioning
her choice of a name for her bed and breakfast. Daniel remarked it sounded like
something out of a horror movie, as if it would come to life.
The woman didn’t answer, but took two more steps closer,
then placed her bag on the floor. “I’m glad to be here before the sun sets.”
“You made it.” Her cheeks were starting to ache from
continually smiling. Well, that and acting like a genial innkeeper. Why
couldn’t she’d just be normal Donna Tollhouse?
“Yes, yes, I did.” The woman glanced around the foyer that
had several open doors to the front parlor, library, and dining room. Her lips
pursed as her eyes flicked upward.
No dust anywhere and the floors gleamed where they weren’t
covered by a floral runner.
“May I have your name, please?”
The woman gave a nervous laugh, which seemed out of place.
“Lorena, Lorena Fitzgerald.”
Convenient, since she was the first name on the list. Her
hand gripped the heavy reunion basket and held it out to Lorena. “Compliments
of the inn for your stay.” The woman’s French tipped manicured hand wrapped
around the basket handle beside Donna’s. “Enjoy the reunion.”
Lorena’s eyes widened. “There’s a reunion? What type?”
Donna had relinquished the basket unaware that her guest
didn’t merit it. Too late to take it back too, especially since the woman was
now poking through it making pleasurable noises. With her luck, the couple out
antiquing would hear about it and expect one too. Well, she did have a couple
cases of Reunion Red.
“Ah yes, the local high school is having a reunion.
Thirty-one years.”
Lorena fanned her free hand in front of her as if overcome
by the thought of a reunion. “Thirty-one years. Goodness, I’ve only been out of
school barely twenty years.”
Taking a page from Detective Taber’s book, she ran a hand
over her face, hoping to hide her smirk. Okay, the woman looked good, but not
that good. A woman in her thirties would wear something a little more playful,
edgy, or even more casual. The shoes and sweater set declared her mid-forty.
Once she recovered her innkeeper face, she dropped her hand.
