The Catskill Summer Resort Mysteries take readers back to the 1950s, when the Catskill Mountains of New York were a prime vacation destination. The series is set at a family-run resort hotel, and the period details add flavor to the mystery plots. Deadly Summer Nights kicked off the series in 2021.

Vicki Delany captures the feel of mid-century resort life, from the entertainment acts to the guest dynamics, while weaving in murder mysteries that make good use of the closed setting. The two-book series offers a change of pace from Delany’s contemporary cozies.
