Fowl Prey

Mary Daheim Avon-Mystery Used Paperback Cover has wear mostly around the edges and corners. Inside cover is tanned. Top outside cover has a date marking. Spine has no creasing. Pages are clean no internal tears, marks, or creases. 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! G-1-B
