OLD AMERICAN HOTEL: A Murder Mystery

Mount Hill Junction, 1961. A quiet Missouri town where trains slow down, secrets stay buried, and the Old American Hotel watches everything. Twelve-year-old Spence Spencer arrives for another summer with his grandmother, Daisy, the sharp-witted hotel keeper who has spent decades outsmarting danger. But when a Stranger in a dark suit steps into the lobby, the air shifts and Daisy's past, long hidden behind ledgers and locked doors, begins to surface. As traveling salesmen crowd the porch, whispered warnings circle the halls, and old fears from St. Louis return, Spence is drawn into a mystery adults refuse to explain. A frightened salesman. A missing ledger. A threat that has followed someone home. By week's end, someone will be dead. Spence, armed only with curiosity, courage, and the loyalty of a few trusted friends, will uncover the truth Mount Hill Junction has tried to forget.
