The Oldest Sin: 3 (Sophie Greenway)

The elegant Maxfield Plaza Hotel in downtown St. Paul is packed to the rafters with the powerbrokers of the charismatic Church of the Firstborn—and a national convention of the Daughters of Sisyphus. . Between the two gatherings five old college roommates are reunited: food critic Sophie Greenway now owner of the hotel; Adelle who married into the founding family of the Firstborns; Lavinia mastermind of the Daughters; and Bunny and Cindy Lavinia’s top aides. But when a murderer terminates one of the gang Sophie senses that not everyone is devastated by the loss. . As Sophie delicately probes the private affairs of her hotel’s star guests she recalls another death—of a young woman who had been the group’s sixth roommate. The buried secrets of that long-ago death are exhumed as a clandestine killer once again commits the oldest sin.
