Description
Summary:Down-on-her-luck sitcom writer Dee Stern is flipping the script. Twice divorced and wasting her talents on an obnoxious kids' show, the lifelong Angeleno embraces the urge to jump in her car and keep driving. It's a road trip with no destination--until she pulls into a mid-century motel filled with cobwebs and retro charm. Nestled in the shadow of a national park. It's a time capsule of a place that, like her, could use some work. So, in the most impulsive move of her life, Dee teams up with her best freind, Jeff Cornetta--who happens to be her first ex-husband--to transform the aging ranch into the Golden Motel-of-the-Mountains, a hiker's oasis on the edge of the wilderness... But Dee and Jeff soon realize there couldn't be two people more unprepared for the hospitatlity business. There's also the panic-inducing reality of prowling bears and a general store as the only shopping spot for miles. Living and working in the middle of no-where takes some getting used to--especially when a disrespectful guest ends up murdered! Now, with the motel duo topping the suspect list, Dee must steer clear of a meddling park ranger, face her past in show biz, and determine if the killer is a local or tourist. Because as she quickly finds out, there are many thihngs worse than a one-star review.
