Book Description

Judith McMonigle Flynn knows how to make guests feel at home at Seattle's popular Hillside Manor Bed-and Breakfast inn. When Judith and her zany cousin Renie venture off to nearby Mountain Goat Lodge to feed and finess a group of phone company big shots on retreat, the attending executives begin taking permanent vacations...one by one.

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 Homage to "And Then There Were None", May 20 2002

This review is from: Snow Place To Die Mm (Mass Market Paperback)

I was very surprised by some of the negative comments left concerning this installment of the B and B Mystery Series. I thought this one was terrific! Yes, I did miss the "old folks at home" (Joe, Gertrude, the Rankers, and Sweetums), but there were plenty of interesting people trapped in the Inn with Judith and Renie. I found this not only a biting commentary on corporate America, but a wonderful homage to some of the great murder mysteries out of our past, particularly Then There Were None (also known as Ten Little Indians). Anyone who could not understand how the bodies "piled up like cordwood" must never had enjoyed the pleasures of a creepy old "we're trapped, now what" scenario. I just wish someone would have the sense to start making some tv movies of this series!! Can't wait for the next one!

This review is from: Snow Place To Die Mm (Mass Market Paperback)

In this installment of the Bed-and-Breakfast Mystery series, Judith Flynn goes to the Mountain Goat Lodge to cater a weekend retreat for some phone company executives. Cousin Renie has invited her along because she is making a presentation to the board and her caterer has dropped out at the last minute. What was to be a short 1-day trip turns into several days as a giant blizzard snows them in to the lodge. The characters reveal themselves to be a self-centered bunch, interested only in advancing their careers. Judith and Renie discover a skeleton while they are out exploring and then several murders ensue. Everyone there realizes that it must be somebody at the lodge, so there is much fear and mutual distrust. After several red herrings, Judith, of course, deduces who the murderer is. This is a good read, if you enjoy cozies.

2.0 out of 5 stars Did not care for them being away from the Inn, Feb 22 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Snow Place To Die Mm (Mass Market Paperback)

Of all this series, I cared for this one the least. It took place away from the familiar neighborhood, the B&B and although the "coz's" were together, I missed Joe and the rest of the characters.

I did not particulary enjoy this book. I thought that too many characters were included which made the plot hard to follow. Read more

Judith and Renie are at it again. Bodies seem to come their way in the most unusual locations. I enjoyed this book and read it as soon as I got it, but it didn't read as... Read more
