Tucked away in a cozy cul-de-sac on Heraldsgate Hill, Judith
McMonigle Flynn hopes for smooth sailing in her longtime
role as an innkeeper. But Judith's skill in dealing with
guests is matched only by her knack for coming across
corpses.
Mystery lovers who enjoy madcap mayhem
will have no reservations about returning to Hillside Manor
in the twenty-fourth Bed-and-Breakfast book from USA
Today bestselling author Mary Daheim.
Judith's
worst nightmare comes true when Vivian Flynn—husband Joe's
first wife—moves back into the neighborhood, bringing along
her newest spouse, Billy "Blunder" Buss, a former
minor-league baseball player who is many years younger than
his shop-worn bride. Still, the B&B business is going well
and the newlyweds don't seem to be causing problems for the
Flynns. That seemingly calm summer idyll is broken when
Vivian, who has become mysteriously wealthy, announces plans
to tear down her own house and the recently vacated bungalow
next door so she can build a big, bad condo. Judith, along
with the rest of the neighbors in the cul-de-sac, is up in
arms, vowing to fight the project to the death.
Vivian's past catches up with her when Frankie Buss comes to
town. Billy and Frankie's late father, elderly Oklahoma
rancher Potsy Buss, was married to Vivian for nine months
before dying and bequeathing her his vast wealth. Frankie
Buss intends to stir the pot of gold that Potsy left his
widow, and he's trying to cut a deal with Vivian and her
most recent mate, Billy. Naturally, where else would Frankie
and his wife, Marva Lou, stay but at Hillside Manor?
And naturally, somebody checks out . . . permanently.
The "somebody" isn't a Buss family member, and turns out to
be a "nobody" because the body can't be identified. To save
the B&B as well as her sanity, Judith must figure out not
only who did it, but who it was who was found dead in
Vivian's backyard.
