The Bodies in the Bessledorf Hotel — Phyllis Reynolds Naylor

Hildegarde, the maid, was sobbing hysterically. She'd just discovered a dead body in the bathtub of Room 107. By the time everyone else rushed in to take a look, the body was gone! Almost immediately, there was a report of another dead body.

Bernie Magruder had to find out what was going on. His father was manager of the Besseldorf and if mysterious deaths discouraged business, Mr. Magruder would be out of a job -- and his family would end up in the poorhouse! When Bernie and his friends Weasel and Georgene get on the case, they nab the villain just in the nick of time -- but not before their quirky tactics turn the Bessledorf into Hilarious Hotel!
