A week of "mayhem-as-usual" at Hillside Manor kicks off with the arrival of a mysterious "Mr. Smith" and his floozie "Mrs." from New York City—and it accelerates into chaos when Mr. Smith himself kicks off, a victim of the foulest of plays. Hostess Judith McMonigle Flynn is shocked to learn that her now-defunct roomer was actually "Legs" Benedict—hit man for the notorious Ronzini Family—and that virtually every other guests at her B&B had good reason to want Legs broken. Judith's policeman-hubby Joe is understandably peeved that homicide happened (again!) under his own roof. And when the FBI moves in—more interested in nabbing a Nazi nutcase than a malicious mobster murderer—the local cops clear out, leaving Judith, Joe and irrepressible cousin Renie to find out who whacked the wiseguy before the hits keep coming.

About the Author
Mary Richardson Daheim is a Seattle native with a degree in communications 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 and the mother of three daughters.

How in the world did this book get published?,
By A Customer
This review is from: Legs Benedict:: A Bed-And-breakfast Mystery (Bed-And-Breakfast Mysteries) (Mass Market Paperback)
I can't say that this is the first book that I've read by this author, because I threw it out after the first 100 pages - there wasn't one single page that made any sense whatsoever. It jumped around, had trite and meaningless dialogue, and threw in unnecessary characters left and right. I still can't believe that there's an entire series of this author.

BORING BORING BORING BORING BORING BORING BORING,
By oluffer "olufering09" (TEXAS) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Legs Benedict:: A Bed-And-breakfast Mystery (Bed-And-Breakfast Mysteries) (Mass Market Paperback)
I have to be honest this book is horrible! I did somehow manage to finish it though. There are constantly new characters being introduced and they serve no real function to the story. The ending is horrible too!There is noway you could possibly solve this yourself because she introduces new evidence on the last few pages. Nothing really motivated me to turn the page and keep going. Takes forever to finish because it is so stupid! Don't waste your time or money unless you want to use it for a bonfire!

Diffucult to finish and poorly crafted,
By A Customer
This review is from: Legs Benedict:: A Bed-And-breakfast Mystery (Bed-And-Breakfast Mysteries) (Mass Market Paperback)
Based on a recommendation from a friend, I read this book and was disappointed with every page. The plot set up was poor, the mystery was boring and the ending was a farce. So much for recommendations.
