Murder With Reservations
Elaine Viets
First Time in Paperback
Living life on the lam and working wherever she can find
a paycheck, Helen Hawthorne has a knack for keeping a low
profile. But when her co-worker dies, and her two-timing
ex-husband tracks her down in South Florida, it's going to
get a lot harder to fly under the radar...
Working at Sybil's Full Moon Hotel in Fort Lauderdale keeps
Helen both financially and physically fit. But cleaning up
after hotel guests is not like cleaning a houseit's
like cleaning fifteen houses in a single day. Not to mention
the dreaded 323, the hotel's most notorious room. The guests
in 323 are always drunk, loud, and rudeand, worst of
all, they never tip. When a maid goes missing the day after
a disastrous mess in 323, the rest of the cleaning staff
chalk it up to job burnout, and imagine that Rhonda has
finally ditched the housekeeping gig to run off with the
dreamy, rich boyfriend she's always talking about.
But then Rhonda turns up dead in a Dumpster, and no one
feels safe and snug in South Floridaespecially not
Helen. Another dead body means another chance for the cops
to find her. And to make matters worse, her ex-husband is
hot on her trail, checking into the very hotel where she
works. Sadly, the cops don't seem to care much about a
murdered maidbut they have noticed there's something
shady about the victim's coworker and her not-quite-truthful
story. And if she doesn't manage to dodge their questions
and shake off her ex, it could be checkout time for Helen...
