Best mystery so far 
I have been reading the series from the first book Just Desserts and have found them entertaining. The characters are familiar at this point, but I enjoy the premise that murder in one small town constantly would be a stretch so the author takes her show on the road. What particularly struck me with this book is that the mystery was good. The clues were all there like an old Agatha Chrisitie mystery and it is actually possible to solve the crime, unlike some authors who withhold information just to prove they are smater that you I guess. So sit back and enjoy the 8th book of the series and get the others as well
I really like all of the B&B mysteries
It, like the rest of the B&B mysteries was fun and I loved it.
Another great book from Mary Daheim
I loved this book. It is set in Yeovil and Somerset, England. My sister lives in Yeovil, so it really made me homesick for the English countrysides. The things she wrote about are true about those areas in England. I liked the characters, too. They were truly British. Like most of her books, I didn't figure the whodunit until almost the time that Judith did. And I love Renie. She is so much like me.
It's really a good book, especially if you like mysteries that are hard to figure out.
Judith and Renie go to England-OK 
Judith and Renie and their respective spouses take a trip to England. While their husbands fish in Scotland, the girls visit relatives of Judith's pen pal. The matriarch of the family takes a liking to them, and when she is murdered, leaves them her gate house and a whole lot of trouble. This is typical of the series, nothing really special about it, but it is entertaining.
reviews: page 1, 2
Though lurching through London is ever so jolly, hostess on-holiday Judith McMonigle Flynn and her cantankerous cousin Renie are looking forward to an unharried weekend at a real English country manor. They find the estate taxing, however, what with vacationing relations crowding every nook and cranny of Ravenscroft House, while its awesomely aged mistress, Aunt Petulia, holds court-until a box of poisoned sweets hastens the dour dowager's demise. Soon Judith and Renie are up to their American necks in a muck of murder most British-as they set out to unearth a fatal family secret...and unmask the culprit who was anti-Auntie enough to do the old girl in.
auntie mayhem, auntie, mayhem
