From Amazon: A valuable necklace disappears, and Ashley, owner of the Skullduggery Inn, must discover whodunit or the fundraiser to build a no-kill animal shelter will be terminated. ( )

Short mystery story, second Skullduggery Inn story.
Nice story, but not worked out as well as the first Skullduggery Inn story. It feels a bit hasty, like the author could have taken more time for it. The story has some characters that we also met in the first story, but one of the characters, Trevor, doesn't make an appearance this time, which I thought was a pity.
It was an enjoyable, quick read, and I did think the plot was original, just that it could have been worked out more extensively.
I hope Carmichael will write more Skullduggery Inn stories, I'd be interested to get to know the characters better. ( )
