USA Today bestselling mystery maven Mary Daheim brings us another
intriguing tale in her cherished Bed-and-Breakfast mystery series in
which a trip down memory lane brings Judith and Renie back to their old
neighbourhood, and they are drawn to a seemingly deserted house that is
much more than meets the eye.
On a trip to Renie′s old neighbourhood, the cousins′ curiosity is piqued
by a mysterious brick Tudor house that always looked deserted during
Renie′s junior high school days. Surprised that the house still looks
abandoned after all these years, Judith and Renie, of course, cannot
resist an opportunity to snoop around. They discover that Mr. and Mrs.
Bland have lived in the house since 1947, and after cornering the

husband Joe and the busy B&B business. Until one day Judith finds a dead
body in the trunk of her car. And it′s the Blands′ milkman...
