A Very Woodsy Murder (2024)by Ellen Byron

¡°Recovering TV sitcom writer Dee Stern leaves behind punchlines for peril in a delightful whodunnit set at a remote motel in rural California that mixes a perfect cocktail of gut-busting one-liners with heart-stopping suspense!??? ¡ªLee Hollis, Author of Death of a Clam Digger

New motel owner Dee Stern has checked out of the familiar comforts in the Studio City and checked in to the quaint village of Foundgold. Running a rustic getaway in the woods sure beats LA traffic¡ªuntil murder ruins the peace and quiet . . .

Down-on-her-luck sitcom writer Dee Stern is flipping the script. Twice divorced and wasting her talents on an obnoxious kids¡¯ show, the lifelong Angeleno embraces the urge to jump in her car and keep driving. It's a road trip with no destination¡ªuntil she pulls into a mid-century motel filled with cobwebs and retro charm. Nestled in the shadow of a national park, it¡¯s a time capsule of a place that, like her, could use some work. So, in the most impulsive move of her life, Dee teams up with best friend, Jeff Cornetta¡ªwho happens to be her first ex-husband¡ªto transform the aging ranch into the Golden Motel-of-the-Mountains, a hiker¡¯s oasis on the edge of the wilderness . . .

But Dee and Jeff soon realize there couldn¡¯t be two people more unprepared for the hospitality business. There¡¯s also the panic-inducing reality of prowling bears and a general store as the only shopping spot for miles. Living and working in the middle of nowhere takes some getting used to¡ªespecially when a disrespectful guest ends up murdered! Now, with the motel duo topping the suspect list, Dee must steer clear of a meddling park ranger, face her past in show biz, and determine if the killer is a local or tourist. Because as she quickly finds out, there are many things worse than a one-star review.

¡°Ellen Byron combines a witty and resourceful heroine with a dream, a shabby motel in a spectacular setting, a host of interesting characters, and a puzzling murder that hits a little too close to home in this delightfully quirky, clever, and laugh-out-loud mystery that delivers a hefty dose of nostalgic charm. Byron's A Very Woodsy Murder will leave readers clamoring for another visit to the Golden Motel.¡± ??Darci Hannah, Author of Murder at the Blarney Bash
