Interesting that the author used a hotel she stays in, loves, and write in, as the base location for this mystery novel. No wonder she had such good descriptions of the location and surroundings. The characters were quite varied but none of them really stood out as more interesting than another and I never got the feeling that I knew them other than very superficially, mostly in relation to their occupations.
