An Unexpected Visitor

All is quiet at Blythe Cove Manor as its proprietress, Blythe Calvert, anticipates a peaceful holiday along with her cat, Martha. But then a taxi pulls up and drops off a troubled, runaway teen looking for a safe haven. Can the magic of Blythe Cove Manor heal this young girl's aching heart? The immensely popular Booktown Mystery series is what put Lorraine Bartlett's pen name Lorna Barrett on the New York Times Bestseller list, but it's her talent--whether writing as Lorna, or L.L. Bartlett, or Lorraine Bartlett -- that keeps her in the hearts of her readers. This multi-published, Agatha-nominated author pens the exciting Jeff Resnick Mysteries as well as the acclaimed Victoria Square Mystery series, the Tales of Telenia adventure-fantasy saga, and now the Lotus Bay Mysteries, and has many short stories and novellas to her name(s). The Tales of Blythe Cove Manor is a series created by authors Lorraine Bartlett, Shirley Hailstock, and Kelly McClymer. These are the stories written by Lorraine Bartlett. Blythe Cove Manor is a magical bed and breakfast on the island of Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts. Hostess Blythe Calvert has special wisdom (and a flair for baking) that she imparts to all her guests.
