From USA Today bestselling author Mary Daheim comes her
latest Bed-and-Breakfast book featuring innkeeper Judith
McMonigle Flynn and her irrepressible cousin Renie in a
mystery that takes them on the wrong side of the tracks. . .
. Loco MotiveIt's autumn at Hillside Manor B&B, and with the
changing leaves come some unexpected guests. There's
Judith's son and daughter-in-law, with their two children in
tow, a couple with an impossible (and unbelievable?) last
name who show up from nowhere, and a pair of giggly young
women who don't seem to know where they're going.As
Halloween draws nigh, Judith can barely cope with her gala
of guests, but at least the worst guest from the first part
of the week checks out-almost permanently. Wee Willie
Weevil, infamous daredevil and martial-arts movie icon,
insisted on performing his dangerous stunts from Judith's
roof and left the B&B via an ambulance.Hoping to escape the
domestic mayhem, Judith agrees to accompany Renie on a
cross-country train trip to Boston with first-class
accommodations on the Empire Builder. Judith's bubble bursts
when she discovers that Wee Willie and his entourage are
fellow travelers. Although confined to a wheelchair, the
diminutive stunt man seems capable of derailing the cousins'
vacation.Cousin Renie does her best to ease Judith's mind
until the train collides with a truckload of sugar beets.
Forced to wait for a new engine in a small Montana town in
the middle of nowhere, the passengers can do nothing but
watch and wait. Even before the train can get back on track,
the cousins discover that their sleeper attendant has gone
missing. Worse yet, another passenger's final destination is
the nearest morgue.Judith and Renie have to move full speed
ahead if they want to blow the whistle on the killer before
death strikes again. Can the train continue its journey?
Will the cousins ever get to Boston? Stay aboard!
