When Liz Holt returns home after an intense decade in New York, she's happy to be surrounded by the eccentric clientele and loving relatives that populate her family-run inn, and doubly pleased to see the business is staying afloat thanks to its vibrant shopping emporium and a few very wealthy patrons. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e But that patronage decreases by one when a filthy rich guest is discovered dead in her oceanfront suite.
