Murder, Bed & Breakfast

The warm B&B atmosphere contrasted sharply with the crime, which caught me off guard. Did the setting help or hinder the suspense for others?

It’s such a classic cozy mystery setting, but I wonder what drew the author to that particular environment. Did it come from personal experience or a love of inns?

The seemingly peaceful community had a few hints of underlying tension. Did others guess who the culprit early on, or was the reveal a surprise?
