“A Tale of Two Hotels”
An exciting finale to Elizabeth Cooke’s small hotel series about the Hotel Marcel in Paris is presented in this, the fourth book, “A Tale of Two Hotels.” Following “There’s a Small Hotel,” Secrets of a Small Hotel,” and “The Hotel Next Door,”
“A Tale of Two Hotels” involves a duel between two hostelries, one simple and diminutive, the other, large and grandiose, side by side on a Parisian avenue. Trouble is compounded when a sheikh’s beautiful daughter sheds her burka. All manner of mischief ensues. Other passions, adultery, a wedding, even attempted arson, take place in the City of Light in the month of May, much to the fascination of the narrator, an American widow in her 60s.
