Book Description

Mar 1 1995 Bed-And-Breakfast Mysteries

Murder is Relative

Though they'd rather be boiled in oil, Judith McMonigle Flynn and her cantankerous cousin Renie have agreed to cater a seventy-fifth birthday bash for their batty old Uncle Boo Major, the billionaire breakfast mush magnate. Luckily their culinary obligations keep them busy in the kitchen of the sprawling Major manor and away from most of their contemptible kin -- until the septuagenarian birthday boy is discovered deceased behind his locked den door. Someone slew Uncle Boo...but who? A plethora of last wills popping up all over the place makes virtually everybody a suspect -- Judith and Renie included. And that's forcing the cousins out on a limb, where they must attempt to pick the true culprit from among the many nuts on their twisted family tree.

Review

"Judith and Renie are sleuths to treasure...Daheim writes with wit, wisdom, and a

big heart. I love her books." -- Carolyn Hart

About the Author

Seattle native Mary Daheim began telling stories with pictures when she was four. Since she could neither read nor write, and her artistic talent was questionable, her narratives were sometimes hard to follow. By second grade, she had learned to string together both subjects and predicates, and hasn't stopped writing since. A former newspaper reporter and public relations consultant, Daheims first of seven historical romances was published in 1983. In addition to Avon Books' Bed-and-Breakfast series featuring Judith McMonigle Flynn, Daheim also pens the Alpine mysteries for Ballantine. She is married to David Daheim, a retired college instructor, and has three daughters -- Barbara, Katherine and Magdalen.

5.0 out of 5 stars All in the Family Mar 15 2001
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Judith McMonigle Flynn and her cousin Renie have reluctantly agreed to cater their Uncle Boo's 75th. birthday party. They show up and are treated like servants instead of the relatives that they are. When the birthday celebration is over, the guest of honor disappears into his study and is later found shot to death. Judith's colorful relatives offer no end of possibilities as far as suspects go, and she, as usual, decides to do her own investigating. Her policeman husband Joe's chief rival is assigned to the case, which makes Judith even more determined to find out who the killer is. This is one of the best-written of the Bed-and-Breakfast Mystery series and is a very enjoyable read.

Format:Mass Market Paperback
This is one book in a series of bed-and-breakfast mysteries set in Seattle, Washington. Anyone familiar with the city can tell that the author, Mary Daheim, has changed the place names, but retained the feel of the city in accurate descriptions. Heraldsgate Hill is really Queen Anne Hill. Norway General Hospital is really Swedish Hospital. Papaya Pete's restaurant is really Trader Vics. Donner and Blitzen department store is really the now defunct Frederick and Nelsons. Nordquist is Nordstroms. The Belle Epoch is The Bon Marche, now known just as The Bon. Moonbeams coffee house is really Starbucks, and so on. The descriptions are so accurately and fondly drawn that the reader experiences a warm sense of being there, especially if one has actually lived in Seattle at one time. The relationships of the characters are sometimes feisty but honest and often very funny. I recommend this whole series.
