Innkeeper and irrepressible sleuth Judith McMonigle Flynn and cousin
Renie face off against a cold-blooded killer in a beach community in
this delightfully charming Bed-and-Breakfast mystery from USA Today
and New York Times bestselling author Mary Daheim.
With the holidays gone and Hillside Manor almost empty, Innkeeper Judith
McMonigle Flynn has a bad case of the blues. A housesitting stint at her
aunt and uncle's retirement home on Whoopee Island with cousin Renie
seems like the ideal pick-me-up. Surrounded by retirees in the
off-season sounds peaceful and pleasant--or so the duo thinks. But it
isn't long before a dead body pops up in their vicinity. Not surprising
in an area full of older folks--until they learn it wasn't a bad ticker
that did in the victim, but a very sharp knife. With clouds of suspicion
hovering over her and Renie, Judith reluctantly begins sleuthing--if
only to prove they didn't commit the crime.
But what she finds is puzzling. The victim reputedly didn't have an
enemy in the world--except for the killer. Digging for clams and
answers, the cousins discover that retirement can be deadly--at least
among the eclectic, eccentric residents of Obsession Shores.
