Murder at Honeysuckle Hotel is a true treasure!  Raelynn Pendleton is a newly divorced outsider in the small town of Honeysuckle, Kentucky,  She dreams of turning her newly inherited victorian home into a hotel and aiding in the rebirth of the town's historic main street. Before she can breathe new life into thrift store finds her dreams are interrupted by the discovery of a dead body in her backyard. As the town turns against her, Rae takes crime solving into her own hands. After all, she has read enough murder mysteries to prepare herself for this. The story is a fun, fast paced read with multiple storylines and a great cast of characters. Honeysuckle is home to a town drunk who constantly loses his glass eye, the mayor's evil wife who is out for world domination, a fiercely loyal best friend who loves to gossip and a smoking hot sheriff that wants to serve and protect Raelynn.  In addition to a great story, we are provided with awesome trash to treasures decorating tips and techniques. As a firm believer in "one man's trash is another man's treasure" I love this aspect of the story. Decorating without a budget is never easy and Raelynn has an entire home to re-do. Her repurposing of objects and decorating tips are spot on. This book is perfect for anyone and I highly recommend it. Rose Pressey does not disappoint and I hope there are more adventures for Raelynn in the future!!
