Eight Nights at The Harris Hotel by Celia Miles

Congratulations to a wonderful author and dear friend, Celia Miles, on the publication of a new one that I look forward to reading.  She will have a book signing next month. It's in conjunction with the cover artist who is the gallery's Artist of the Month; 

Mrs. Wheeler, a rich elderly widow, arrives at The Harris Hotel, on the Hebridean island Lewis and Harris off the Scottish coast.

There her memories of a dust bowl youth, military service, Chicago’s business and art venues, along with multiple marriage interweave with a guest’s murder.

With the help of her young aide from the island, Mrs. Wheeler is determined to solve the crime … even when experience and innocence are sometimes at odds.

“Mrs. Wheeler is not an especially lovable character—rich, used to being in charge—but she is capable of depth under her commercial façade,” Miles says. “Her young attendant is told to ‘obey, not to question’, but in trying to solve a murder at the hotel they begin to understand each other, if not always agreeing. They find they have a similar past and that they do what has to be done to manage.”
