It’s Dial ‘M’ for Mountain Goat Murder, and a storm’s blowing in to boot leaving Judith and Renie stranded with ten suspects and a corpse…
and with nothing better to do than to reach out and touch a killer who’d like nothing better than to put two inquisitive cousins in the Deep Freeze.

With the scoreboard showing Grim Reaper 3, post op patients 0, Judith decides that she and Renie are obliged to get to the bottom of Good Cheer’s carnage. But in order to sew up the case, Judith and Renie must probe into the suspects’ psyches. And suddenly it looks as if the cousins’ own prognoses could take them out of the game…
for good.

Silver Scream

Homicide has never been more hilarious than when committed on paper by the inimitable Mary Daheim. And now the masterful creator of the bestselling Bed and Breakfast mysteries takes madcap malevolence to a delightful new level, when Hollywood comes calling…
and killing. Filmdom’s most sparkling glitterati have brought their limos and their egos to Judith McMonigle Flynn’s Hillside Manor for a gala preview of the latest epic monstrosity from genius superproducer Bruno Zepf. Hostess Flynn’s Pacific Northwest B&B is a far cry from Hollywood but then Bruno’s cinematic spectacular is a far cry from good. And the great man’s entourage with their swelled heads, their tantrums, their demands, and their illicit habits surely rank among the most insufferable guests ever to rumple Judith’s bed linens. Bruno hopes his new film is to die for unfortunately for him, it is. Not long after the lights come up on the less than lauded screening, the unfortunate mogul is discovered drowned in the kitchen sink. His demise could have been a bizarre accident caused by a faulty cabinet door that Judith’s ex cop hubby Joe Flynn never got around to repairing. And since the only species in Tinseltown more numerous than Oscar seekers is attorneys, Judith could lose Hillside Manor in a wrongful death suit. Unless, of course, she can prove it was murder. But there’s a problem: No one on the scene benefits from the producer’s fade to black. The police are stymied surprise!, but Judith’s livelihood depends upon her finding a killer any killer will do. And that’s the script she intends to follow, with the assistance of ‘Mr. Don’t Fix It’ Joe and a curiously reluctant cousin Renie, who’s got troubles of her own…
.

Hocus Croakus

A fire that gutted Hillside Manor has left Judith McMonigle Flynn depressed, frustrated, and in need of a place to stay while the workers complete their extensive renovation. Luckily, cousin Renie has the solution: the Stillasnowamish Casino on Native American land, where Judith can forget her woes amidst the slots and dazzle, spend some quality vacation time with ex cop husband Joe as well as with the battling moms, Gertrude and Aunt Deb and distract Renie herself from the deathly dull conference she’s expected to attend. But all their gamboling and gambling come to an abrupt halt when the Reaper gets into the act. The magic dies abruptly for The Great Mandolini when one of his attractive aides is discovered skewered on one of the master illusionist’s props. Judith’s Joe, who is recruited into the investigation by Tribal Police Detective Jack Jackrabbit, wants his snooping spouse and her cantankerous coz to steer clear for their own safety. But all bets are off when corpse number two materializes from among Mandolini’s adoring entourage of oddball relatives, relatives’ relatives, friends, lovers, and business associates. Someone is causing murderous confusion that is no illusion, and it’s going to take some serious sleight of hand by Judith and Renie to unravel this tangled rope trick or, if the cousins aren’t careful, they could end up being the encore.

This Old Souse

USA Today bestselling mystery maven Mary Daheim brings us another intriguing tale in her cherished Bed and Breakfast mystery series in which a trip down memory lane brings Judith and Renie back to their old neighbourhood, and they are drawn to a seemingly deserted house that is much more than meets the eye.

On a trip to Renie’s old neighbourhood, the cousins’ curiosity is piqued by a mysterious brick Tudor house that always looked deserted during Renie’s junior high school days. Surprised that the house still looks abandoned after all these years, Judith and Renie, of course, cannot resist an opportunity to snoop around. They discover that Mr. and Mrs. Bland have lived in the house since 1947, and after cornering the mailman and milkman, Judith and Renie also learn that the Blands receive regular mail and food deliveries, but no one has ever seen the occupants who simply pay the bills with cash they leave in the milk box. Although intrigued by these strange, but definitely not sinister, occurrences, Judith is ready to focus her attention once more on her neglected husband Joe and the busy B&B business. Until one day Judith finds a dead body in the trunk of her car. And it’s the Blands’ milkman…

Dead Man Docking

B&B hostess Judith McMonigle Flynn and her closer than a sibling cousin Renie would be crazy to turn down a free, 1930s themed South Pacific islands cruise aboard the magnificent San Rafael, the pride of the Cruz Cruises fleet. Unfortunately, the fabulous pre launch party is as far out to sea as the passengers are likely to get, after the body of their VIP host, Magglio Cruz, is discovered stuffed in the piano and the cruise is cancelled.

Suddenly free to gad about San Francisco with their marooned shipmates at least one of whom is possibly homicidal the cousins decide to join glamorous, martini quaffing Rick and Rhoda St. George and their wheezy white pooch, Asthma, for a bit of amateur sleuthing. But the route to Magglio’s murderer may not be such smooth sailing. And if Judith, Renie, and the St. Georges aren’t careful, they may all end up leaving their hearts in San Francisco…
and the rest of their mortal remains as well!

Saks & Violins

Life has hit some sour notes as of late for B&B hostess Judith McMonigle Flynn and her cousin Renie. Graphic design guru Renie’s up to her eyebrows in debt after some seriously overzealous spending sprees. Meanwhile, Judith’s got her hands full with her wacky new neighbor, Rudi, a virtuoso violinist whose daily and usually unclothed practices are unhinging her and other neighbors in the cul de sac.

But, though they’d all love to kill nude, rude Rudi, it’s his larger than life mentor, Dolph Kluger, who takes his final bow after ingesting some ruthlessly poisoned rhubarb. To add to the musical mayhem, Rudi’s priceless violin bow goes missing, Renie’s useless credit cards are stolen, and each murder suspect seems loopier than the last. Once again, the cousins are going to need some fancy fingering to make a cold blooded killer sing but if they’re not careful, the next music they hear will be their funeral march.

Scots on the Rocks

It’s a hoot, mon!

Nobody but the peerless Mary Daheim combines mirth, mayhem, and murder with such page-turning pleasure, and her latest Bed-and-Breakfast mystery is a 150-proof shot of Scottish plots with a twist.

Hoping to dispel the late winter gloom, innkeeper Judith McMonigle Flynn flies off for a much-needed vacation to Scotland. Instead, she and prickly Cousin Renie find themselves marooned in an ancient castle perched high above the North Sea while their husbands go off on a fishing trip with a local police inspector. But when an explosion rocks Grimloch Castle, leaving a dead body in its fiery wake, an ever-curious Judith is once again up to her neck in a murder investigation.

The victim is a young man who seemed to have it all: marriage to a bonnie oil heiress, a baby son, and a stately mansion. His lovely widow has an abysmal track record with men, all of whom have met with untimely ends. But is she merely unlucky in love…
or adept at dealing death? The cousins have plenty of other suspects, not to mention some less-than-earthly voices that reverberate around the castle, lending credibility to spooky tales of a restless ghost sharing their royal quarters. Then there’s Chuckie, a distillery owner’s oddball son and heir, who’s more interested in the castle’s dungeon and torture chamber than he is in whiskey. The situation grows even murkier when the husbands and their Scotland Yard buddy go missing…
.

The hunt is on for a killer through the bonnie braes and sea-green glens of Scotland. And if Judith and Renie aren’t careful, this could turn out to be their most dangerous-and last-Highland fling.

Vi Agra Falls

Tucked away in a cozy cul de sac on Heraldsgate Hill, Judith McMonigle Flynn hopes for smooth sailing in her longtime role as an innkeeper. But Judith’s skill in dealing with guests is matched only by her knack for coming across corpses.

Mystery lovers who enjoy madcap mayhem will have no reservations about returning to Hillside Manor in the twenty fourth Bed and Breakfast book from USA Today bestselling author Mary Daheim.

Judith’s worst nightmare comes true when Vivian Flynn husband Joe’s first wife moves back into the neighborhood, bringing along her newest spouse, Billy ‘Blunder’ Buss, a former minor league baseball player who is many years younger than his shop worn bride. Still, the B&B business is going well and the newlyweds don’t seem to be causing problems for the Flynns. That seemingly calm summer idyll is broken when Vivian, who has become mysteriously wealthy, announces plans to tear down her own house and the recently vacated bungalow next door so she can build a big, bad condo. Judith, along with the rest of the neighbors in the cul de sac, is up in arms, vowing to fight the project to the death.

Vivian’s past catches up with her when Frankie Buss comes to town. Billy and Frankie’s late father, elderly Oklahoma rancher Potsy Buss, was married to Vivian for nine months before dying and bequeathing her his vast wealth. Frankie Buss intends to stir the pot of gold that Potsy left his widow, and he’s trying to cut a deal with Vivian and her most recent mate, Billy. Naturally, where else would Frankie and his wife, Marva Lou, stay but at Hillside Manor?

And naturally, somebody checks out…
permanently. The ‘somebody’ isn’t a Buss family member, and turns out to be a ‘nobody’ because the body can’t be identified. To save the B&B as well as her sanity, Judith must figure out not only who did it, but who it was who was found dead in Vivian’s backyard.

Judith and Renie have to move full speed ahead if they want to blow the whistle on the killer before death strikes again. Can the train continue its journey? Will the cousins ever get to Boston? Stay aboard!

The Alpine Advocate
Novels by Mary Daheim

The Alpine Pursuit

As her myriad of fans can attest, USA Today bestselling author Mary Daheim creates wonderful mysteries peopled with marvelous characters as quirky as they are endearing. The Seattle Times says Daheim is one of the brightest stars in our city’s literary constellation and the popularity of her irresistible Pacific Northwest crime series has swept across the nation. Now the unfaltering Emma Lord is back in her highly anticipated hardcover debut.

For a small town newspaper like The Alpine Advocate, a new play at the local community college is big news. Editor and publisher Emma Lord is duty bound to attend opening night, but expects the amateur enterprise will serve only as a cure for insomnia. The play is dubbed a black comedy, but the only laughs Emma gets are from the bad acting and the wretched script. And while the turgid production makes Wagner s Ring cycle seem like a vignette, the real drama begins just before the final curtain.

Hans Berenger, dean of students, wasn t well known or well liked around Alpine, but the audience found his death scene genuinely convincing until they realized he wasn t acting. No one can say how or when the blanks in the prop gun were replaced with the real bullets that killed Berenger, but the list of suspects reads like a playbill of the cast and crew. They all had opportunity, access, and their own axes to grind with the thespically challenged dean.

Seeking the assistance of Vida Runkel, the Advocate s redoubtable House and Home editor, Emma Lord vows to unravel a mystery that spirals out into unexpected places. As Emma sets the stage for the most likely suspect, she finds herself in a two character scene whose next cue could make the resolute editor take a final and permanent bow.

But Gen’s homecoming is cut decidedly short when she dies at a dinner party. Emma Lord, owner and publisher of the local newspaper, The Alpine Advocate, immediately arrives on the scene to report the incident and sleuth her way to the truth.

Though it appears that Gen wasn t adored by everyone in the Alpine community, her untimely death still comes as a shock. To help solve the mystery, Emma turns to Vida Runkel, the Advocate s trusty House & Home editor. Such a notorious story would normally have Vida chomping at the bit, but to Emma s surprise Vida is hesitant, even downright unwilling to get involved.

The demise of Genevieve Bayard, however, isn t the only crime in Alpine. There has been a rash of burglaries, including at Emma s own cozy log cabin. Are the break ins and the murder connected? As Emma digs, she uncovers a shocking scandal that may point the finger of guilt at one of her nearest and dearest…
