I've read most of the books in Mary Daheim's Bed and Breakfast series and enjoyed them, but I had mixed reactions to this one. Many of the elements that make these books work so well are there: Daheim's trademark sense of humor (especially when the "free" trip turns out to cost a small fortune in food expenses); Renie being a slob when she eats (and she's always eating); and the crustiness of Gertrude, Judith's mother. There are also some neat plot twists at the end of the book that I didn't see coming. However, Daheim relies too much on Judith's chance encounters with people who are virtually strangers to her yet they immediately tell her all kinds of secrets. Judith has no real reason to want to solve the murder and while she is usually very inquisitive in all the books in the series, in this book she comes across as just plain nosy. Even Renie, who can be very abrasive, is put off by her behavior.
In the end, "Murder My Suite" is not one of Daheim's best. ( )
