Judith McMonigle Flynn, proprietor of Hillside Manor B and B, is back, along with her private-investigator husband, Joe; cash-strapped cousin Renie; and wacky mother, Gertrude. Business is a bit slow at the B and B, but things start looking up when the inn is booked for a party, but the host drops dead at the event, and Judith's neighbor reports that her $350,000 violin bow has disappeared. Judith needs to solve the crimes if she wants to stay in business, but the victim's family refuses to cooperate.
