(3.28) | 2 | Fall has fallen upon Judith McMonigle Flynn, leaving her Hillside Manor nearly devoid of guests. And what better cure for the off-season blahs than a brief bout of B&B sifting for a friend amid the quiet rustic splendor of secluded Chavez Island? Judith and cousin Renie both are more than ready for some relaxation. But their peace goes to pieces when Renie conks an odious interloping blowhard on the noggin with a heavy china dish-and, moments later, the woozy lout takes a fatal tumble down an inconvenient staircase. Judith suspects that death by dinnerware was not the real cause of this fellow's demise. But to prove her cantankerous cuz innocent, she'll have to uncover the real killer from among the motley island crew. And that could pile a lot more nastiness on Judith's plate than the harried bed-and-breakfast hostess can consume in one sitting!… (mer) |

There are three cabins at Chavez Cove B & B. An altrustic private high school headmistress, Miss Hennessy, is in Doe. The Estacatas, a young couple on their honeymoon, are in Fawn. It's the guest in Buck who is impossible. H. Burell Hodge, who always speaks of himself in the third person, is a truly obnoxious jerk. He's on Chavez Island for business reasons, but what are they?
The other inhabitants of the island are a widowed doctor, a strange widow and her very nice daughter, a man who ferries locals and visitors in his boat, the couple who live in the imposing Stoneyhenge mansion, and their eccentric security man.
That means that -- unless someone sneaked over from another island or the mainland -- there aren't that many suspects for the murder. Unfortunately, the deputy in charge of the investigation considers Renie a good suspect.
There are good reasons why September is considered an unlucky month on Chavez Island. Are any of those reasons behind the murder? Judith is keen to solve the case to save her cousin. The killer would rather she didn't, of course.
There are engaging characters with secrets for Judith to ferret out and the usual humor that graces this series. Cat lovers, the very inappropriately named Sweetums has a small part, but he's all cat in it. (
