The Park Hotel Mysteries #3
Room with a Clue
A new cozy mystery series COMPLETE IN FOUR NOVELS from New York Times and USA Today best-selling Author Diane Capri.
Follow former lawyer turned concierge and amateur sleuth Andi Steele and her lovable cats (and dogs) as they catch murderers and solve crimes on historic Frontenac Island, Michigan.
Dead bodies. Hunky men. A never-ending parade of demanding hotel guests, quirky villagers, cats, dogs, and maybe a ghost.
The Frontenac Island Annual Flower Festival is in full swing, and everyone expects the Park Hotel florist to nab the top prize again this year. Until the florist is arrested for the murder of her rival, found dead in the middle of the hedge maze during the relay race.
Andi feels compelled to prove her friend’s innocence, of course… but it isn’t like she doesn’t have other things to do. Her romance with Mayor Evans is heating up, although Sheriff Jackson is still in the picture, too.
And then there are Andi’s parents, pressuring her long-distance from Hong Kong to join them at Club Paradise, the private club they own. Andi has never wanted to move to Hong Kong and she still doesn’t.
Between one thing and another, it’s all Andi can do to keep her mind on the job and her head above water as she homes in on a killer.
If you love traditional cozy mystery with a side of romance and a splash of suspense, you’ll love Andi Steele and The Park Hotel Mysteries.

Let me start by saying, I really am loving this series.
This is the 3rd book in the series, and you do have to read
The first 2 before this one. So all I will say is, Andi is a great
Protagonist- I don’t find her dull of unrealistic, this is simply
A fun series, action, murder a little romance, some cute cats,
And some fun along the way. Will definitely be reading the fourth
Book.

fun light read
I have so enjoyed this series. It is a light read with a myriad of characters and personalities. It’s a mystery, a romance, a comedy, and a puzzle all rolled into one series!

Well, who knew a flower festival could be such a hotbed of malice. This one has Andi juggling lots of hunky men and plenty of clues! A very fun read!

I thoroughly enjoy this series. Love the characters. There is only one more book to read in this series and I'm afraid I'll miss the characters. I'll have to try one of the authors other series.

Love this series, shame it isn’t longer! Good characters with pets always make for a good story if you are an animal lover, and the setting is delightful. Always a fan of Diane Capri’s writing!

Room With a Clue - a review by Rosemary Kenny
Lawyer Andi Steele is 'let go' from her firm,when her boss is arraigned for fraud, as she was his paralegal PA. At about the same time her love life also comes to an abrupt end. Moving away to give herself some TLC, Andi's hired at the Park Hotel as concierge while the previous one's on sick leave, in Queen of the Cozies, Diane Capri's Room With a Clue, Book 1 in her The Park Hotel Mysteries series.Soon romance heals Andi's heart a little, with two beaux to her name, while living and working at the Park Hotel is like having another family and she begins to feel more positive about turning her life around. That is until the tragic and traumatic events that transpire during the annual Frontenac Flower Festival, meaning this sleepy little island town will never be the same again.Much more than a simple 'whodunit' Room With a Clue is complex, intelligently well-written, has believable well-developing characters and an engaging romance bubbling over nicely underneath the shocking events that Andi is soon plunged into. Who will Andi's knight-on-a-white-charger be? What is the secret of the pink gloves? Who does Andi see in the maze? What happens in the Floral Display marquee? Where will the secrets be revealed?
A slightly mysterious ending certainly encourages me to want to read more of the Park Hotel Mysteries series as soon as possible and I can highly recommend Room With a Clue to all mystery-thriller lovers and Cozy fans,(as well as all Diane Capri's excellent novels) everywhere. Grab your copy - and your coffee - asap!

I started this audio yesterday but the system was down so I couldn't update it last night with that said this is the 3rd book in Diane Capri's Park Hotel mystery series. and the first book by her I've ever read/listened too. Andi Steele is a suspended lawyer from California. She has moved to Michigan and now lives and works in the Park Hotel and she is also an amateur sleuth, and this is the third time she has found a dead body and more keep piling up add to that she has multiple men interested in her. ohh and she has 2 cats Jem and Scout (she is a lawyer remember)

Now that her true feelings have come out for the Sheriff and Daniel this should definitely make book 4 special Diane you've done a great job with the stories and all the characters. On to no. 4. Thanks, Carl Clause
