Deathbed & Breakfast reminds me of long ago stories that have plenty of suspects and motives and bumbling characters. You were never sure who the real killer was till the end. It kept your interest the whole way through. I like the different characters and think that most of them should be in jail for some reason or other.

I would love to see how another mystery would fair at the bed and breakfast. The setting sounds nice. We love all the trees in Oregon and to be on a pond sounds good. I would love to go stay their without all the would be killers though.

The pacing was good & fast. Things start unfolding right away and was surprising how many different people were gathered together with motives. All that missing money gets peoples greed flowing.

Edna and Mildred Pookotz run a bed & breakfast. They are sisters and older women. They are not major sleuths like Jessica Fletcher.
But do put together some clues and facts that the others missed. I had one of the clues but missed others.

This is a entertaining book. I wish though somehow to know who was arrested for what or some other information.
Their was plenty of humor especially with the cook Felix. He carried food to the table with his walker. Their were some scenes with him that had me rolling with laughter.

I hope to read more of Bart's work in the future.

I was given this ebook to read for purpose of reviewing and being part of this book tour. ( )
