Reviewed by Jean Brickell for Readers' Favorite

The book "All the Pretty Hearses" is another one by author Mary Daheim starring the heroine, Judith, who runs a bed and breakfast and on the side solves murder crimes. She finds out that her husband, Joe, has been arrested for murder and she must find out why he has been charged.
At the same time she is occupied with duties and problems back at the bed and breakfast. Most everyone checking in causes more problems and she has her hands full. Her mother doesn't make things easier for Judith with her comments and sarcastic humor. Luckily her friends are there to help.

Judith runs a bed and breakfast and she has got problems. Her husband has been arrested for murder. Two free guests think they have to pay and they try to climb out the window. There is a dead horse in the garage, but Judith doesn't have a horse. A large group that she is serving dinner for all fight with one another. And of course her mother as usual is grumpy and makes snide remarks about Judith's husband, Joe. "All the Pretty hearses" is a very funny book that you will enjoy very much. The pace is fast and things keep happening that drive poor Judith to distraction. The author, Mary Dahein, has done another good job on her bed and breakfast series as well as with Judith's amateur job of solving crime. This is a good book to settle in with, anytime.
