Murder at the Mayfair Hotel

Absolutely marvelous. I loved the characters and can't wait to read more in the series.

This is not the type of cozy mystery that I gravitate to, but it was incredible. Cleopatra Fox's parents died a few years ago and she lived with her grandmother. When her grandmother eventually passes away she goes to live with her Aunt and Uncle and their children at the Mayfair Hotel. Her parents had been estranged from them, so she knows very little about them.

One of the guests ends up being murdered on Christmas Eve, so Cleopatra starts to question the staff and try to help solve the case.

The characters are all great in this story and the whole hotel is like a cozy small town. We get to know the doormen, maids, manager and more, as well as Cleopatra and her family.

I was intrigued with the characters and the mystery, and I can't wait to read the next book in the series.
