Erika Bischoff has opened the spa resort of her dreams. During a week when she has a full house, including her friend. retired detective Molly May, one of the guests is found dead. He is industrial baron Harvey Ruger, who hasn't made any friends since he arrived.

This book is a very slow starter. It takes about a third of the book to introduce all the players and then, finally, a body is found. The dialog is a little stilted and the characters are stereotypical except for when they step completely out of the bounds of normal behavior.

I can't recommend this book.

Armchair Interviews says: Take the reviewer's comments to heart.
