The latest Bed-and-Breakfast Mystery, following THE WURST IS YET TO COME. Despite warnings from Cousin Renie, Judith can't turn down a suspicious guest reservation from Mary Smith of New York City. There must be lots of real Mary Smiths, especially in a place as big as NYC. Unfortunately, Judith already knows the woman who shows up at Hillside Manor. It's none other than Ruby Tooms, the world-weary barmaid the cousins met at Oktoberfest. Fearing that Judith wouldn't accept her reservation if she used her real name, Ruby arrives with some unexpected baggage - a cold case she dumps on Hillside Manor's Persian carpet.
