Murder at the Moonlit Guesthouse

When Mara Ionescu returns to Valea Lunii to reopen the Carpathian guesthouse inherited from her grandmother, she expects leaky pipes, wary neighbors, and a mountain of unpaid bills. She does not expect a developer to be found dead in the pantry-bolted from the inside.The broken watch in his hand should be evidence. To Mara, one touch releases something more: a fragment of another person's memory. But her strange gift reveals only emotion-charged moments, never context, and this vision points in a direction the facts refuse to follow.With every guest and villager guarding a private grievance, Mara must trace missing keys, disputed land, old promises, and a carefully staged impossibility. The police need proof, not visions. The killer needs the village to believe the guesthouse itself remembers too much.To save her inheritance-and keep another secret from being buried-Mara must solve the locked-room puzzle by observation, evidence, and deduction before the murderer claims another victim.Murder at the Moonlit Guesthouse begins The Carpathian Guesthouse Mysteries, an atmospheric, non-graphic paranormal cozy series with a complete mystery in every book.
