Someone killed Cousin Maizie. Someone right here in this hotel, while Maizie's body lies in state in the lobby.

"It's an accident," they say. Sure. She accidentally fell down the elevator shaft while firing her gun. I don't believe that for a second.

The question is: who did it, and why?

Come and join the Fern family in their faux-Victorian hotel where things just keep getting weirder: cryptic messages, suspicious relatives, family secrets, and a pair of mismatched galoshes. Trust no one, and whatever you do, don't get in the elevator.
