AlbakiReads Editorial

A resort setting and a reporter’s uneasy investigation

Set in West Virginia’s Greenbrier Valley, the novel brings a homicide investigation to the historic Greenbrier resort, a place described as unaccustomed to such violence. New York Times reporter Zac Wolfe arrives to visit family, then hears from a hotel employee friend that a controversial Fox News commentator has died under mysterious circumstances. Wolfe’s experience is in human-interest writing, not murder investigations; his attention turns both to the death and to understanding the deceased man’s life. The publisher description also points to an ensemble cast and contemporary environmental issues, placing the mystery within a specific regional setting and a broader social context.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in fictional murder investigations set at historic resorts.
  • Readers who enjoy mysteries involving a reporter outside his usual area of expertise.
  • Readers interested in stories that include contemporary environmental issues.

Book overview

West Virginia's luxurious Greenbrier resort has a storied history dating back to 1778. A gleaming jewel in the Allegheny Mountains, The Greenbrier has seen hundreds of thousands of guests, including presidents, royalty and iconic celebrities and sports figures. What it has never seen is a homicide.

New York Times reporter Zac Wolfe is visiting his family in the Greenbrier Valley when a friend who works at the hotel informs him that a controversial Fox News commentator has died there under mysterious circumstances. A human-interest writer specializing in people stories, Zac is out of his element following a murder investigation, but the more he learns about the deceased, the more determined he becomes to try to make sense of this man's life and strange death.

A richly imagined whodunit set in an idyllic corner of the Mountain State, Murder at The Greenbrier features an intriguing cast of characters, contemporary environmental issues, and a mystery that will keep readers guessing to the last page.
