Murder Mansion is the first book from The Painted Lady Inn Mysteries by M.K. Scott. Readers will enjoy the story. Guests without reservations end up dead in M.K. Scott’s Murder Mansion. Donna Tollhouse can’t wait to renovate and open The Painted Lady Bed and Breakfast Inn, but gets a setback when she finds a body in one of the rooms. The new neighbours aren’t pleased about the scandal or having petulant Donna around, and Donna thinks a few of them are supercilious. She impresses Detective Mark Taber with her keen observations about the crime, but ignores his warning about getting involved in the investigation. Her neighbour, Herman, relates an old mystery about the house that had remained unoccupied for some time. Nothing, however, is going to stop Donna from opening The Painted Lady Inn, not even a murderer.
Murder Mansion is an amusing sleuth mystery with a protagonist who is headstrong, doesn’t mince words, and often hurts people with her snappish remarks, although she believes she is being nice. The character development is good and their reactions to the crime and having an unfamiliar person move into their community are natural. M.K. Scott writes with a sense of humour as some characters’ personal lives are very interesting. The cover illustration is appealing and I understand why Donna selected the house for her Inn. This book is suspenseful with twists that come with a nice conclusion. Murder Mansion, Volume 1 in The Painted Lady Inn Mysteries by M.K. Scott makes for an enjoyable story.
