Publisher Description
“Daheim writes with wit, wisdom, and a big heart."
—Carolyn Hart, bestselling author of the Death on Demand series
The Wurst is Yet to Come: The wacky title alone tells you that you are once again in the uproarious realm of “the reigning queen of the cozies” (Portland Oregonian), the inimitable Mary Daheim! In this, the twenty-seventh glorious installment of Daheim’s Bed-and-Breakfast mystery series, harried hostess Judith McMonigle Flynn and her irrepressible Cousin Renie find themselves in Little Bavaria, where the inconvenient discovery of a nonagenarian corpse threatens to put the kibosh on the local Oktoberfest. No one does cozy mystery better than the delightful Daheim—and if you’re a fan of Lillian Jackson Braun, Diane Mott Davidson, or Jill Churchill, you’ll definitely want to take a big bite out of this mouth-watering Wurst.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Daheim's cute 27th mystery featuring Seattle B&B owner Judith Flynn (after 2011's All the Pretty Little Hearses) takes Judith and her cousin Renie Jones to Little Bavaria, Wash. for an Oktoberfest celebration. There elderly Dietrich Wessler, the town's most respected and most productive citizen, is soon stabbed to death amid festivities at Wolfgang's Gast Haus. The bumbling Little Bavaria police chief, "Fat Matt" Duomo, wants Judith not only to solve Wessler's murder but also ferret out who killed another local months earlier. A few inquiries reveal Wessler's abundant illegitimate progeny scattered throughout Little Bavaria. When a second town elder meets an untimely demise, Judith knows she's on the right track and making a dangerous killer very nervous. Though readers may struggle to keep track of the numerous characters and connections, Judith's investigative skills and Renie's razor-sharp sarcasm make it worth the effort.
