Title: Pleasantly dead
Description: "Trevor and Margaret Rudley are looking forward to a summer without incident at the Pleasant Inn, the cherished Ontario cottage-country hotel they've owned for twenty-five years. But barely a week goes by and their hopes are dashed. The maid finds a dead body making a nuisance of itself in the wine cellar, and it's nobody the Rudleys know." "Dying for distraction, Miss Miller, one of the Pleasant Inn's eccentric guests, sets out to solve the case of the deceased, relying on wild speculation, huge leaps of logic, and the assistance of her great admirer, Edward Simpson, who is too smitten to dissuade her from her adventure in detection. Challenging her in the race to resolution is the disciplined Detective Michel Brisbois, whose deep-rooted insecurities about his style and status are aroused by the hotel guests' careless assumption of privilege. When Brisbois stumbles into peril of his own, the intrepid Miss Miller is the only one left who can solve the crime."--Jacket.
