Plot Summary of Creeps Suzette
"Hillside Manor B&B owner Judith Flynn has gotten a reputation as an amatuer investigator. When cousin Renie gets a call of help from old friend Beverly Burgess, she enlists the help of Judith. Bev's mother Leota is convinced someone wants to kill her for the family money and trusts no one in the family except Bev, who lives in Japan. Judith and Renie move into Creepers Mansion to help Leota sniff out who wants her dead. When the cousins find Leota passed out on top of a very dead Dr. Moss at the bottom of the stairs, it's up to them to stop the murderer from claiming Leota also. Or could Dr. Moss have been the intended victim all along?"
Abby White, Resident Scholar
