Stone Van Patten, the online jeweler Lexie Starr met in Leave No Stone Unturned, has moved back to the Midwest to be closer to her. He's purchased and restored a turn-of-the-century historic mansion, naming it the Alexandria Inn in her honor. Together they run the new bed & breakfast establishment and expect it to be a great success. What they don't expect, however, is for the guest of honor, Horatio Prescott, to be murdered in his suite on opening night.
