In this delightfully madcap entry in the New York Times and USA Today bestselling Bed-and-Breakfast series, innkeeper and amateur sleuth Judith McMonigle Flynn’ s plans for a relaxing vacation in the Canadian Rockies go awry when she realizes her fellow guests have a different kind of getaway in their devious minds!
After a busy summer, Judith McMonigle Flynn— owner of Seattle’ s popular Hillside Manor B& B— needs some R& R. Her husband, Joe, surprises her with a trip to Banff in the Canadian Rockies.
Judith’ s overjoyed that Cousin Renie and Bill are joining them. But while making reservations, Joe and Bill made one tiny mistake. Instead of a gorgeous suite in a hotel modeled after a Scottish castle, they’ re staying at a small motel farther down the road. Though their accommodations leave something to be desired, the on-site guests are the real prize. Ma and Pa Stokes and their family members have gathered on the mountainside to give a relative a permanent send-off— a nice gesture, until Judith realizes that paying their respects might be a little premature . . . without some sinister assistance. Old man Codger’ s final wish is for his remains to be sent off down the Bow River. Yet the old coot isn’ t quite dead— yet.
Now it’ s up to Judith and Renie to determine who arranged to send a would-be corpse on an early date with the undertaker.
