the book-based resort to maintain the magnificent grounds
and building. Jane Steward's family has overseen Storyton
Hall since it was first built and Jane is determined to do
whatever she can to preserve the beautiful resort and the
quaint Storyton Village nearby. Hosting a Murder and Mayhem
Week for mystery readers seems just the thing... until a

dead body is found. Will Jane unravel the mystery and save
Storyton Hall at the same time?
Ellery Adams does a marvelous job at world building in
MURDER IN THE MYSTERY SUITE! Storyton Hall sounds like a
truly magical place, where books and reading are treasured.
I love the idea of the librarian and the way he rewards his
readers for returning books they've read. Ellery Adams makes
Storyton Hall come to life as I could easily envision the
resort with the hidden nooks and crannies, the ballroom, the
fantastic feasts, and the gazebo outside. It's a place
readers will wish they could truly visit and enjoy a
relaxing vacation.
MURDER IN THE MYSTERY SUITE is the first book in the Book

get enough of the moments with Jane's two sons, Hem and Fitz
as their imaginative antics are absolutely delightful!
MURDER IN THE MYSTERY SUITE is a bit unique for a cozy
mystery as Ellery Adams has some surprises ahead for both
the reader and Jane. To say more would spoil the revelations
that await the reader as unraveling the mysteries within
MURDER IN THE MYSTERY SUITE are part of the fun! Readers
will relish the way Ellery Adams weaves together books,
mystery, and fantasy.
