Katherine Hamilton's goal in high school was to escape from her dead-end hometown of Asheboro, Maryland. Fifteen years later she's got a degree in hospitality management and a great job at a high-end boutique hotel in Baltimore. Until, that is, the hotel is acquired by a chain, and she's laid off.

When Kate's high school best friend calls with a mysterious invitation to come talk with the town leaders of Asheboro, she agrees to make the trip, curious about where this new opportunity might lead. Once Kate arrives, the town council members reveal that their town is on the verge of going bankrupt, and they've decided that Kate's skills and knowledge make her the perfect person to cure all their ills.

The town has used its last available funds to buy the huge Victorian mansion just outside of town, hoping to use it to attract some of the tourists who travel to visit the nearby Civil War battle sites. Kate has less-than-fond memories of the mansion, for personal reasons, but to make matters worse, the only person who has presented a possible alternate plan is Cordelia Walker - Kate's high school nemesis. But a few days later, while touring the mansion, Kate stumbles over a body - and it's none other than Cordelia.

Murder at the Mansion is ok. It has a decent plot and mystery and a good pace. But, I'm not impressed with the characters. The story was a bit dry and predictable.

Meh

I enjoyed listening to this book and tried to guess many times who was the killer and was wrong every time until the end. The description of the house I could see it in my mind and wish I could see it in real time. You will enjoy listening to this book.

Great story

I enjoyed the narrators pace and voices through the read. I look forward to listening to more of her work. More, though, I liked the story so much! Especially nice was Connolly’s attention to academic research methods. She wove in the academic work details and the research sabbatical quite nicely.

Great listen even if you aren’t an academic!
