No Vacancy for Trouble

READ NOW — before its 2027 Amazon release.

Meg Ashworth comes to Vermont to inventory her late aunt's lakeside inn, make a sensible decision, and sell the place before grief turns into another obligation. Then a building consultant hired by a prospective buyer is found dead in the shuttered boathouse.

Beside him lies an occupancy report that could condemn Ashworth House. Everyone with a stake in the property has a reason to want that report changed, hidden, or believed—including the contractor who knows every weak beam, the polished buyer with plans for a “wellbeing destination,” and members of Meg's own family.

With practical operations expert Rina Chouinard helping her untangle the inn's records and Chief Armand Desrosiers insisting that every clue survive scrutiny, Meg must separate dangerous repairs, quiet fraud, and old resentments from the one secret worth killing for.

No Vacancy for Trouble is Book One in The Second Chapter Inn Mysteries, a warm, clue-forward cozy mystery series about a fifty-two-year-old widow rebuilding a Vermont inn—and a life—room by room. No gore, no romance for the sleuth, and a fair-play solution.
