Midnight at the Marigold Hotel MTA
A Whimsical Mystery of Love, Loss, and Second Chances

About this book:

Welcome to the Marigold Hotel, a charming seaside retreat where time seems to have slowed and life takes on a whimsical, sometimes mysterious, rhythm. But beneath the peeling facade and eccentric residents lies a century-old secret waiting to be unearthed. Florence Alder, the hotel's quiet new night manager, arrives seeking anonymity, only to find herself drawn into the hidden dramas and unexpected connections that bind this unique community together.

The grand return of the annual masquerade ball, hosted by a reclusive industrialist, promises a night of glittering spectacle. But when midnight strikes, revelry turns to ruin as the guest of honor is found murdered, the antique letter opener from the hotel's collection the weapon of choice. Suddenly, Florence and the residents of the Marigold are plunged into a real-life mystery, where everyone is a suspect and the masks designed to conceal identities instead reveal deeper, more complex truths.

As Florence, armed with her quiet observations and a growing understanding of the hotel's hidden passages and forgotten histories, delves into the past, she uncovers a scandalous secret stretching back a hundred years – a tale of forbidden love, betrayal, and a desperate cover-up. The threads of the present-day murder are inextricably linked to a long-lost resident and a hidden truth buried beneath the very foundations of the Marigold. Amidst storms and confessions, Florence must unravel the intertwined fates of past and present, bringing a killer to justice and finally allowing the Marigold Hotel, and its found family, to find peace and embrace the promise of second chances.
