There's no "fun" in "fund-raiser" for Judith McMonigle Flynn
when she donates an overnight stay at Hillside Manor, dinner
included, to the parish school's annual auction—especially
when the winning bid goes to the persnickety Paine family.
She'll have her hands full sorting through the painfully
picky Paines' endless allergies and aversions. Then hubby
Joe lands in jail after his latest surveillance job abruptly
ends with an insurance fraud suspect being blown away by a
.38 Smith & Wesson . . . that just happens to belong to Joe.
But finding the real killer and dealing with the Paines'
pain are just the tip of the iceberg—what with Judith's
cantankerous mother, Gertrude, agreeing to let a wealthy
parishioner stable a horse in her toolshed apartment; cousin
Renie trying to force-feed her loathsome Shrimp Dump recipe
to the parish cookbook fund-raising committee; and a number
of parish school kids falling sick after their weekly
hamburger lunch.
