Oldest Sin - Softcover
SUITE DEATH
Elegant Maxfield Plaza Hotel, in downtown St. Paul, is packed to the rafters with the power brokers of the charismatic Church of the Firstborn--and a national convention of the Daughters of Sisyphus.
Between the two gatherings, five old college roommates are reunited: food critic Sophie Greenway, now owner of the hotel; Adelle, who married into the founding family of the Firstborns; Lavinia, mastermind of the Daughters; and Bunny and Cindy, Lavinia's top aides. But when a murderer terminates one of the gang, Sophie senses that not everyone is devastated by the loss.
As Sophie delicately probes the private affairs of her hotel's star guests, she recalls another death--of a young woman who had been the group's sixth roommate. The buried secrets of that long-ago death are exhumed as a clandestine killer once again commits the oldest sin. . . .

From the Publisher:
Ellen Hart's food critic Sophie Greenway is a kick. I love mysteries and I love to cook. Thank God this gifted author had the sense to incorporate two fun themes. Anybody who enjoys Diane Mott Davidson's mysteries will love Ellen Hart and her delicious heroine.
--Nanci Andersen
