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, andturns 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.
