Dead Man Docking
Dead Man Docking | Mary Daheim
2 posts | 1 read | 2 to read
B&B hostess Judith McMonigle Flynn and her closer-than-a-sibling cousin Renie would be crazy to turn down a free, 1930s-themed South Pacific islands cruise aboard the magnificent San Rafael, the pride of the Cruz Cruises fleet. Unfortunately, the fabulous pre-launch party is as far out to sea as the passengers are likely to get, after the body of their VIP host, Magglio Cruz, is discovered stuffed in the piano and the cruise is cancelled. Suddenly free to gad about San Francisco with their marooned shipmates -- at least one of whom is possibly homicidal -- the cousins decide to join glamorous, martini-quaffing Rick and Rhoda St. George and their wheezy white pooch, Asthma, for a bit of amateur sleuthing. But the route to Magglio's murderer may not be such smooth sailing. And if Judith, Renie, and the St. Georges aren't careful, they may all end up leaving their hearts in San Francisco . . . and the rest of their mortal remains as well!

Mehso-so

Just okay. The mystery was fine, but the characters were all 2-dimensional tropes. So much so, that I actually wondered if it was intentional, kind of like a spoof of a bad movie.

This was my #ThematicCozies choice for the August prompt #Travel .

In this cozy mystery series, Judith and her cousin Renie are #neighbors ; Judith runs a bed and breakfast, and as any cozy mystery fan knows, murder often happens at either the bed and breakfast or wherever Judith and Renie happen to be.

Relations and friendships from relations are so important to Jane Austen, so why not feature neighborly cousins for today‘s #150PnPCoverParty ?

CrowCAH Perfect book for today! Except perhaps for the murdered. 8y
