Summers at the Saint
The St. Cecelia, a landmark hotel on the coast of Georgia, is a place where traditions run deep and scandals run even deeper. Traci Eddings came from the wrong side of the river, worked at the Saint as an outsider, and married the boss's son. Now widowed, she owns the hotel and is determined to return it to its glory days even as staff shortages and financial trouble threaten to sink it. She hires a motley crew of summer help, including the daughter of her estranged best friend, the son of a wealthy family learning a lesson, and her beloved niece Parrish. The season opens with a shocking murder and an investigation into a decades-old tragedy, unearthing betrayals and family secrets that reach back a generation.
