The Last Reservation is a mystery-thriller set at an isolated inn on a Vermont lake, cut off by a blizzard. Former detective Mara Voss now runs the Blackwater Inn, near the shoreline where her sister vanished without a trace ten years earlier. When wealthy businessman Julian Ashworth books the entire inn under the guise of a family reunion, he brings four other guests with him - his wife, his business partner, a journalist, and secrets none of them are willing to share.
When Julian is found murdered in the inn's boathouse the next morning, the storm has already sealed off the roads and phone lines, leaving Mara to investigate with no outside help and no one above suspicion. As she digs through the guests' pasts, she uncovers a trail of financial fraud, a decades-old family cover-up, and a connection to her own sister's unsolved disappearance - buried on the same shoreline for ten years.
With the killer still inside the inn and the snow refusing to let up, Mara has only a few days to separate the guilty from the merely desperate - before the thaw lets someone walk free.
