The story so far
The evening
The Fairbreeze Hotel caters for the wealthiest tourists visiting Saint Michelle. It has a reputation which is second to none for service, customer care and comfort.
Boasting a fitness suite, casino, entertainment lounge, indoor spa and a palm-fringed outdoor pool, it is situated in prime real estate close to the beach, pier and other tourist attractions.
This morning, the hotel’s guests were shocked and dismayed to find the outdoor pool contained more than the usual leaves.
Rex Marridges, Saint Michelle’s favourite gym instructor, was found dead, floating face down in the water and there are rumours it wasn’t natural causes.
With the reputation of the island as a safe paradise and holiday resort at stake, it falls to Inspector Beach to apprehend the killer before the night is through.
