reviewed on + 131 more book reviews


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 Fusili Family - and that virtually every other guest 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 - thelocal cops clear out, leaving Judith, Joe, and irrepressible cousin Renie to find out who whacked the wiseguy before the hits keep coming.
