Book Description:
Hail, Hail, the Mob's all Here

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.

This is yet another entry in Daheim's B&B series. It's a good read, although very much a cozy mystery.

A week of mayhem -as- usual at Hillside Manor kicks off with 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. Judith is shocked to learn that her now defunct roomer was actually "Legs Benedict - hit man fior the notorious Fusilli Family- and that virtually every other guest at her B&B had reason to want him dead. Will Judith find the murderer?

On the order of Evanovich... Schlock-ish and predictable but enjoyable.

Another of my favorite authors of 'cozy' murder mysteries. A fast read and with a little humor.
