Terminal Intentions

A 1960s Historical Cozy Mystery

Advance Reader Copy

Blurb

A snowbound hotel. A smothered stewardess. And everyone has something to hide.

When a winter storm traps stewardess Patty Byrne and her crew at a Chicago hotel, all she wants is a hot shower and a soft bed. Instead, she wakes to a maid's scream and discovers her fellow stewardess dead in the room next door.

The police have their prime suspect: a married pilot rumored to be having an affair with Carol. It's neat. It's simple. It makes perfect sense.

But Patty isn't convinced.

With charming Homicide Detective Eugene Coker pursuing both the case and Patty herself, and her complicated relationship with Special FBI Agent Bill Hart unraveling from afar, Patty must navigate murder and her own conflicted heart.

As the snow piles higher, Patty realizes the killer could be anyone—a stranger, a crew member, even hotel staff.

And asking the wrong questions might make her the next target.
