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 Motive
It'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
