Who in her right mind would turn down a free luxury cruise to the idyllic South Pacific? Certainly not Judith McMonigle Flynn - which is why she and her closer-than-a-sibling cousin Renie Jones are leaving behind the stress of the Hillside Manor B&B and hightailing it down to the San Rafael in San Francisco Bay . . . which, unfortunately, is as far out to sea as they will get when a corpse is found stuffed in the piano.

About the Author:

Mary Richardson Daheim is a Seattle native with a communications degree from the University of Washington. Realizing at an early age that getting published in books with real covers might elude her for years, she worked on daily newspapers and in public relations to help avoid her creditors. She lives in her hometown in a century-old house not unlike Hillside Manor, except for the body count. Daheim is also the author of the Alpine mystery series, the mother of three daughters, and has three grandchildren.

From Booklist:

The prolific Daheim alternates between two charming and successful cozy series, both set in the Pacific Northwest. Her latest, part of her Bed-and-Breakfast series, brings back innkeeper Judith McMonigle Flynn and her zany cousin Renie, who tend to get in trouble whenever they're together. This time, the cousins--whose kids are grown and out of the house--leave their husbands behind for a journey to San Francisco. From there, they are to take a free cruise that Renie finagled from a client. Before they can leave shore, however, the ship owner is murdered at a cocktail party aboard the ship. As police investigate his death, another murder occurs. In the manner of Lucy and Ethel, wacky adventurers Judith and Renie are always loads of fun to be around. While investigating the murders, they paint San Francisco red and hobnob with wealthy cruise patrons such as Rick and Rhoda St. George, a martini-swilling Nick and Nora-like couple whose dog is named Asthma. More madcap fun from the always-reliable Daheim. Jenny McLarin
