Product Description:


Van Gogh-ing...going...gone!



Poor Judith McMonigle Flynn! All she wants is a much-needed break from the rigors of running Hillside Manor. But she and cousin Renie have barely set foot in their family's backwoods vacation cottage...and already they're having a brush with the local law. It appears someone has painted their neighbor, world-renowned artist Riley Tobias, permanently out of the picture. And the artful slayer has managed to frame luckless Judith for the crime! But the model amateur sleuth isn't about to sit still for this , as she and her cuz canvas the countryside in search of a killer. Judith is certain the culprit can be found in the rogues' gallery of oily agents, malicious mistresses, and crafty critics who inhabited the defunct da Vinci's surrealistic world. But the cousins could be painting themselves into a dangerous corner with this unofficial investigation...and setting themselves up for another fatal art attack.Poor Judith McMonigle Flynn!

Rated by buyers 4 out of 5 stars - and the fun continues
This 6th book in the series is an easy and delightful read. The Bed and Breakfast series is what I consider a good, fun read and while some of them are better than others as murder mysteries go, I find them all enjoyable.



Rated by buyers 4 out of 5 stars - Famous artist is a murder victim
In this book, part of the Bed-and-Breakfast Mystery series, Judith and her cousin Renie take a break to go to their old family cottage. While there they visit their neighbor Riley, who is a renowned artist. Shortly after their visit, he is killed and is found lying in tempera paint. There are a lot of neighbors who are possible suspects along with girlfriends, a crooked agent, and clients who have purchased Riley's paintings. One of the most delightful characters is Abbot N. Costello, a neighborhood police investigator who couldn't solve a crime if the perpretrator gave himself up. As usual, Judith comes up with the answer to the crime and she comes close to being killed herself before the murderer is brought to justice. Is it just me or does Judith spend more time with her cousin than with her new husband? It's hard to believe that she's as crazy about him as she claims and yet spends so much time away from him.



Rated by buyers 4 out of 5 stars - Another Fun Renie and Judith Mystery
Renie and Judith plan on spending a weekend at the Grover family's rustic cabin. Alot of maintenance is needed, and the girls are looking forward to spending time at a place where there are many fond childhood memories. While going for water, they visit with a neighbor, the famous artist, Riley Tobias. Soon after they leave, Tobias is found strangled. Renie and Judith now have to add another task to their weekend, finding a murderer. The characters in this mystery are very well drawn and colorful. The mystery was easy to solve, but I had such a good time reading it, I didn't care.



Rated by buyers 4 out of 5 stars - Palletes of Personality
Once again Renie and Judith have hit the road, this time to a familiar family cabin (mentioned in earlier episodes.) As usual, the women get more than they counted on, with a parade of personalities as subtly blending in to the rural locale as the blue-greens of a fine Monet.Following this mystery was enjoyable, a journey I look forward to taking with Ms Daheim again.
