Synopsis

Rodney Schmuck and his wife, Cleo, Hillside Manor's latest guests, seem completely ordinary. Judith McMonigle Flynn is touched to hear that the forty-something couple is in town to visit family. Rodney has come to visit his mother - who, he claims, is none other than Judith herself! Shocked to meet a son she's certain she never had, she insists he's made a mistake. Then Rodney shows her proof: a birth certificate from Norway General Hospital listing Judith Anne Grover as his mother. The father's name is Unknown. But she's got an even bigger problem on her hands when one of the B&B's own guests turns up dead. Then Rodney announces he wants Judith to financially compensate him for abandoning abandoning him. Perhaps she'll sign over Hillside Manor? Fat chance of that...

This is a generally enjoyable series. The bickering was cut way back in this volume. The plot was a bit scrambled but i enjoyed it. A good quick read.......more

Judith Flynn is glad to have her bed and breakfast occupied, until the wedding party from Los Angeles arrives. First, the father of the bride, Rodney Schmuck, greets her as his long-lost mother. Then the mother of the bride is found dead in the garden. Here, again, the police seem desultory, wanting......more

Trudged through the book. Takes me 3-7 days to read a book im particularly interested in. As a mystery novel I expected it to be riveting, especially with the plot being revealed early into the book, but I never found myself enjoying it.......more
