A Case of Bier: A Bed-and-Breakfast Mystery

By Mary Daheim

In this charming madcap entry in the New York Times and USA Today bestselling Bed-and-Breakfast series, innkeeper and amateur sleuth Judith McMonigle Flynn’s plans for a relaxing vacation go awry when she realizes her fellow guests have a different kind of getaway planned.

Vacations can be murder. No one knows that better than Judith McMonigle Flynn, owner of Seattle’s popular Hillside Manor B&B. After a busy summer, she desperately needs some R&R. Leave it to her thoughtful husband, Joe, to surprise her with a trip to the Canadian Rockies. Thrilled to be getting away, Judith’s overjoyed when Cousin Renie and Bill agree to join them. Though the husbands have made the arrangements, how bad can a short time away in the beautiful mountains be? Judith and Renie are about to find out!

While the accommodations certainly leave something to be desired, the other guests are the real prize. They’ve gathered on the mountainside to give a relative a proper and permanent send-off—a nice gesture, until Judith realizes that paying their respects might be a little premature . . . without some very sinister assistance. Now, it’s up to her and Renie to save a would-be corpse from an early date with the undertaker.

Reviews for A Case of Bier

[jenniferrobb · Rating: 2 out of 5 stars]

This is a DNF for me. When I chose it, I did realize that it was part of a series (though I did not realize it was so far into the series as it is) and that I hadn't read others in the series. Given that there are 2 couples who take a vacation together, it probably can be read as a stand-alone without having lost too much history of the series.I just couldn't get into the characters or the storyline.
