Wealthy carpet-sweeper magnate Otto Brodie and his garishly grotesque clan have descended upon Judith McMonigal's quaint Hillside Manor Inn for a wild night of drinking, dining, and fortune-telling.

Cute cozy mystery....I would have rated it higher had it not had so many characters to keep up with. Other than that, I enjoyed it.

Another of Mary Daheim's funny, funny murder stories!! Judith has the worst luck I've ever seen and is forever in murder scenes!! Somehow, she can't seem to avoid being involved in murder everywhere she goes, no matter how hard she tries or how much she doesn't want to!!
