The 30th book in Mary Daheim's beloved Bed-and-Breakfast series, which continues to delight her devoted fans. When Rodney Smuck and his wife, Cleo, check into Hillside Manor, the only thing Judith McMonigle Flynn thinks is unusual thing about them is their last name. the forty-something couple are in town to visit family. that sounds nice-and ordinary-to Judith. Until, of course, she finds out that Rodney's visit includes seeing his mother, who, he claims, is Judith. Naturally, she's shocked and insists he's made a mistake. But Rodney has proof-a birth certificate from Norway General Hospital stating that Judith Anne Grover was his mother. the father is listed as Unknown. Since Rodney is unknown to Judith, she's in a state of denial and refuses to budge. But when a murdered man's body shows up in the B&B's back yard, she has to shift into her role as amateur sleuth. For once, Joe is willing to help. He's never enjoyed garden clean-up. Meanwhile, Rodney is pressing Judith for some kind of reimbursement to compensate for his sad youth as an orphan. Perhaps she'll sign over the Hillside Manor property to him? Fat chance of that, Judith declares, and wonders what kind of scheme Rodney has in his devious, greedy mind. Oh, yes-Cousin Renie is also only too glad to help Judith out of her tight spot with those Smucks.
