Product Description

Product Description

A week of "mayhem-as-usual" at Hillside Manor kicks off with the arrival of a mysterious "Mr. Smith" and his floozie "Mrs." from New York City—and it accelerates into chaos when Mr. Smith himself kicks off, a victim of the foulest of plays. Hostess Judith McMonigle Flynn is shocked to learn that her now-defunct roomer was actually "Legs" Benedict—hit man for the notorious Ronzini Family—and that virtually every other guests at her B&B had good reason to want Legs broken. Judith's policeman-hubby Joe is understandably peeved that homicide happened (again!) under his own roof. And when the FBI moves in—more interested in nabbing a Nazi nutcase than a malicious mobster murderer—the local cops clear out, leaving Judith, Joe and irrepressible cousin Renie to find out who whacked the wiseguy before the hits keep coming.

A week of "mayhem-as-usual" at Hillside Manor kicks off when a mysterious Mr. Smith from NYC himself kicks off, a victim of foul play. Hostess Judith McMonigle Flynn is shocked to learn that he was actually "Legs" Benedict--hit man for the Ronzini Family--and that virtually every other guest had good reason to want Legs broken. So it's up to Judith to find out who whacked the wiseguy, before the hits keep coming.

4.0 out of 5 stars The "Mob" comes to Hillside Manor, May 27 2001
By Karen Potts (Lake Jackson, Texas) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Judith Flynn, proprietor of Hillside Manor Bed and Breakfast thinks that it's business as usual as her guests arrive for the weekend. It seems like a typical group with a single man, a newly-married couple, a mother and son, a pair of nursery school teachers, and a surly couple from Chicago. However, there is soon a dead body at the B & B and it becomes apparent that no one is who he says he is. As usual Judith claims to have instinctive powers of observation and deduction, but this case has even Judith stumped. A complicated web of interrelationships is eventually revealed, but this just makes it more difficult to solve the crime. Another feature of this addition to the series is the appearance of Judith's first grandson, Mike and Kristen's baby. Even this event is not an undiluted joy when Judith finds out the baby's name. If you're a "cozy" fan, you'll probably enjoy this one.

1.0 out of 5 stars BORING BORING BORING BORING BORING BORING BORING, May 13 2001
By E. Olufsen "olufering09" (TEXAS) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I have to be honest this book is horrible! I did somehow manage to finish it though. There are constantly new characters being introduced and they serve no real function to the story. The ending is horrible too!There is noway you could possibly solve this yourself because she introduces new evidence on the last few pages. Nothing really motivated me to turn the page and keep going. Takes forever to finish because it is so stupid! Don't waste your time or money unless you want to use it for a bonfire!

1.0 out of 5 stars Not worth the paper it's printed on., Dec 23 2000
By "bowlinmaniacpmo" (Kingwood, Tx United States) - See all my reviews
My brother told me that I could mow the lawn and have a more exciting adventure than this book. A mystery book is supposed to have some element of supense, this book lacked so much that when he had 6 pages left he was able to put the book off one day....what kind of book can't hook you when you have 6 pages left??????? Stephen Hunter - Dirty White Boys - now that's a book that will hook you
