I am reviewing a copy The Lady in Residence through Barbour Fiction and Netgalley:
Will they be able to break the legacy of sadness at the Menger Hotel?
Hedda Krause is a young widowed musician when she checks into the Menger Hotel in 1915 with a trunk full of dresses, a case full of jewels, and enough cash to pay for a two-month stay, which she hopes will be long enough to meet, charm, and attach herself to a new, rich husband. Unfortunately her plans end up being derailed when she is lured into a long dark hallway by a ghostly apparition, only to go back to her room to find her jewelry has been stolen.
Hedda falls under suspicion immediately under a cloud of suspicion with her haunting tale, but there are true ghost enthusiasts who bring her pieces of jewelry in hopes of luring the ghost to appear again.
Dini Blackstone is a fifth generation musician performs at private parties, but she also gives ghost walk tours, narrating the more tragic historical events of San Antonio with familial affection in 2017. Her favorite tale by far is the tale of Hedda Krause who, in Dini’s estimation, succeeded in perpetrating the world’s longest con, dying old and wealthy from her ghost story. After Dini meets Quinn Carmichael the great-great grandson of the detective of the detective who originally investigated Hedda’s case, who’s come to the Alamo City with a box full of clues that might lead to Hedda’s exoneration.
Will Dini be able to see another side of Hedda’s story? One that is worthy of God’s Grace.
I give The Lady in Residence five out of five stars!
Happy Reading!
