Über dieses E-Book

Killers of a feather just might flock together in the second Bed-and-Breakfast mystery from the author of Just Desserts.

Leaving the Hillside Manor in capable hands, bed-and-breakfast hostess Judith McMonigle heads north to Vancouver’s Hotel Clovia with her irrepressibly voracious cousin Renie for a pre-Thanksgiving getaway. But when an addled and impoverished popcorn vendor is murdered—along with his foul-mouthed pet parakeet—a local copper’s suspicious gaze settles on the two visiting Americans. The cousins, in turn, suspect one of the “Sacred Eight”—an odd-duck assortment of glamorous showbiz glitterati currently gathered at the historic hotel. And unless Judith and Renie can pluck a killer from the secretive, star-studded group, their geese will be thoroughly cooked in short order!
