A Case of Bier: A Bed-and-Breakfast Mystery

In this charming 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 go awry when she realizes her fellow guests have a different kind of getaway planned.

Vacations can be murder. No one knows that better than Judith McMonigle Flynn, owner of Seattle’s popular Hillside Manor B&B. After a busy summer, she desperately needs some R&R. Leave it to her thoughtful husband, Joe, to surprise her with a trip to the Canadian Rockies. Thrilled to be getting away, Judith’s overjoyed when Cousin Renie and Bill agree to join them. Though the husbands have made the arrangements, how bad can a short time away in the beautiful mountains be? Judith and Renie are about to find out!

While the accommodations certainly leave something to be desired, the other guests are the real prize. They’ve gathered on the mountainside to give a relative a proper and permanent send-off—a nice gesture, until Judith realizes that paying their respects might be a little premature . . . without some very sinister assistance. Now, it’s up to her and Renie to save a would-be corpse from an early date with the undertaker.

After a busy summer, Judith McMonigle Flynn needs some R&R from her Hillside Manor B&B. Leave it to her husband, Joe, to surprise her with a trip to Banff. Though the B&B is booked solid through Labor Day, everything is in good hands since her neighbors will take over.

Thrilled to get away, Judith’s overjoyed that Cousin Renie and Bill are coming along. However, the husbands made one tiny mistake. Instead of a suite in a hotel modeled after a Scottish castle, they’re booked at a motel farther down the road. But while their accommodations are undesirable, the on-site guests are the real prize. Ma and Pa Stokes and their family have gathered to give a relative a proper, permanent send-off, when Judith realizes that paying their respects might be a little premature.

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 a rocky demise in the Canadian Rockies.
