    About this ebook

    Leaving the Hillside manor in capable hands, bed-and-breakfast hostess Judith McMonigle heads north to Vancouver's Hotel Clovia with her irrepressibly voracious cousin Renie for a pre-Thanksgiving getaway. But when an addled and impoverished popcorn vendor is murdered -- along with his foul-mouthed pet parakeet -- a local copper's suspicious gaze settles on the two visiting Americans. The cousins, in turn, suspect one of the "Sacred Eight" -- an odd-duck assortment of glamorous showbiz glitterati currently gathered at the historic hotel. And unless Judith and Renie can pluck a killer from the secretive, star-studded group, their geese will be thoroughly cooked in short order!

    Mary Daheim

    Mary Richardson Daheim is a Seattle native with a communications degree from the University of Washington. Realizing at an early age that getting published in books with real covers might elude her for years, she worked on daily newspapers and in public relations to help avoid her creditors. She lives in her hometown in a century-old house not unlike Hillside Manor, except for the body count. Daheim is also the author of the Alpine mystery series.

      This book takes place in Canada where the cousins go to scatter the ashes of Judith's husband. And of course a murder takes place, drawing in the cousins and their high school classmates.I am more used to the voice of this author now so I was able to get through the book easier. I am surprised the the Canadian authorities didn't take umbrage at American interference but then again it was the 90s.

      I've been rereading Mary Daheim's Bed-and-Breakfast Mystery series backwards, so I was already spoiled for a few things in Fowl Prey, the last chapter of which explains why Joe Flynn never called Judith after his Las Vegas disaster.Joe does have a role in this book, even though most of it takes place in Canada, where Renie and Judith are on vacation. The cousins run in to an old school friend of Judith's who has since become famous as a dancer. Maria also married a famous producer, Max Rothstein. Max and his 'Sacred Eight' are having a reunion at the Hotel Clovis. Luckily for the cousins, whose reservation has been lost, the last two members of the Sacred Eight, movie star Jonathan Castle and his wife, rock star Clea Rome, are being held up. Maria offers Judith and Renie their room.Besides the colorful theatrical-or-related members of the group, we readers are treated to an even more colorful local popcorn vendor called 'Bob-o'. Thanks to Judith's genuine interest in others, she and Renie have tea at Bob-o's shack. Is Bob-o just making up a more interesting past for himself with what he tells them? We soon have reason to think not.The police are on strike and the cousins need to be home by Thursday -- Thanksgiving in the USA. Can Judith solve the mystery so they can get home in time before her grouchy mother can pitch a world-class fit?

      I think I missed something with this one — namely the "Eureka!" moment where our amateur sleuth clued in on whatever was going on. I had to re-read an entire chapter and still was left in the fog.
