Unfortunately when the guests arrive - a literary agent, his young girlfriend, her jealous soon-to-be-ex husband and his many disgruntled authors, the air is tingled with hostility and anger. Complicating matters are Vicki's twin sister Liz and Grandma Ross, a pistol-packing granny on the hunt for a man.
The guest of honor Georgio Calabria and his girlfriend insist on staying in the Magnum P.I. carriage house behind the Inn. Vicki argues with him to no avail and they trudge outside in the snow to the accommodation.
As the play begins during dinner, a blizzard rages outside cutting the Inn off from the town below. The play centers on a cheating husband and, of course, Georgio is the fictional focus or is it fiction. An unexpected guest appears and threatens Georgio with murder. When a real murder takes place, all eyes point to the unexpected guest who has now disappeared.
This book takes a long time to unravel the plot and there are way too many characters - authors, actors, neighborhood friends and family. I struggled with the names of all the characters and had to refer back several times. The concept of an Inn with rooms decorated with mystery authors or characters is an interesting one for me and so is the mystery play.
Snowed Inn is the first book in the series.
