What are the Seven Hotel Stories?  Here’s a quick summary.

Britches

The first hotel story, Britches, shows how Ms N and Tatiana first met; and how they sorted out the hotel owner from hell using a Combined Burns Night and St Patrick’s Day Ball; the President of China; and something Tatiana found under a handsome Scotsman’s kilt.

The Two Rooms

The second Hotel Story is called The Two Rooms.  It involves an obnoxious guest; a Prime Minister on a moral crusade; a high-class call-girl; some Russian ice-hockey fans; an angry Japanese sushi chef; and a startling twist.  Is it my favourite?  Perhaps it is.

The Swedish Woman

In the third story, The Swedish Woman, a man lies dead in a hotel elevator awash with blood.  But who has killed him?  The suspects are many, including the enigmatic Swedish woman, whose identity is a closely guarded secret.  If Ms N and Tatiana cannot find the murderer before the untainted-by-corruption-of-any-kind Minister of Justice can summon his portly Chief of Police, disaster looms.

The White Blouse

In the fourth Hotel Story, The White Blouse, Tatiana travels to a hotel somewhere in the Former Soviet Union to help Ms N overcome some ugly problems.  This include bribery; corruption; and a guest with deeply unpleasant proclivities.  The White Blouse has a couple of scenes not for the squeamish.  Actually, all the Hotel Stories are intended for adult readers.

Gents

The fifth story, Gents, plays out in sunny Florida.  It involves a congress of hoteliers; a so-called “gentleman’s club”; alligators; and an ambitious colleague who does not respect Ms N.  This is a bad move on his part.

Ask for Scarlett

The sixth story, Ask for Scarlett, takes Ms N and Tatiana to the Caravanserai Ultra Platinum – “the coolest and most ecological as well as the most luxurious hotel on earth”.  Find out why Tatiana says that “every paradise contains a serpent”; and how Ms N prevents two murders – which could have been laid at Tatiana’s door.

The Three Heads

The seventh story is The Three Heads.  Why is social media saying that Tatiana’s luxurious but loss-making hotel, the Caravanserai Ultra-Platinum, hidden inside a hollowed-out mountain above a relic-strewn plain, is flea-infested and plagued by theft?  Only Ms N can prevent a catastrophe.
