The Winston Inn Murders
     The Winston Inn has a sordid past, including a period of time as a brothel owned and operated by Jess Winston in the late 1800s.

Shortly after her arrival, murders mirroring the grisly homicides in Anna's novel start happening as she researches the past and unravels the truth about who killed the prostitutes when the inn served as a brothel.      She finds her own life is in danger when the answer is delivered to her via an previously unknown journal.
