This old souse : a bed-and-breakfast mystery
(Book)

Includes a preview of the novel: Dead man docking (p. [345]-358).

A nostalgic trip back to Renie's old neighborhood wasn't meant to get B&B hostess Judith McMonigle Flynn's snooping engine revved up. But there it is: the exotic and decrepit manse on Moonfleet Street that the cousins always thought was deserted turns out not to be, so Judith figures what's wrong with giving the creaky old house a closer look? The imposing architectural antiquity is occupied by the seldom seen and rarely heard Dick and Jane Bland along with Jane's spinster sister, Sally. At least that's the scoop according to the Bland's chatty milkman, who says he's been making deliveries to the address for as long as he can remember. Apparently, the Bland bunch gets mail, groceries, and cow juice dropped off regularly, and they pay their bills in cash that's left in the milk box - a rather odd arrangement that intrigues Judith and Renie, unfortunately. It's a curious situation to be sure, but there's certainly nothing sinister going on. At least not until Judith opens the trunk of her car... and discovers a dead body. To her dismay, the corpse, when alive, had been tightly wrapped up in this Bland business.
