Six mystery novels set in hotels

S.K. Golden is the author of the Pinnacle Hotel cozy mystery series. Born and raised in the Florida Keys, she married a commercial fisherman. The two of them still live on the islands with their five kids (one boy, four girls — including identical twins!), two cats, and a corgi named Goku. Golden graduated from Saint Leo University with a bachelor’s degree in Human Services and Administration and has put it to good use approximately zero times. She’s worked as a bank teller, a pharmacy technician, and an executive assistant at her father’s church. Golden is delighted to be doing none of those things now.

At CrimeReads she tagged six favorite mystery novels set in hotels, including:
COVERT IN CAIRO by Kelly Oliver

One of my favorite sleuths is Fiona Figg, written by Kelly Oliver. In a recent novel, Covert In Cairo, she’s paired with Kitty Lane in a WW1 Egyptian hotel. They spend some time off the hotel grounds, but it’s a lot of fun. Fiona even rides a camel. Oliver brings the setting to life and Fiona is a character I love reading about and rooting for. She’s just got so many tools and disguises! Fiona Figg has dealt with another hotel murder in her backlist in High Treason at the Grand Hotel, and Oliver readers won’t be surprised to hear she’s wearing a bellhop uniform when she discovers the body.
