The Mom and Pop Murder Mysteries
CUPCAKE'S CAPER
Winnie and Juno have only been retired a couple of years - barely long enough to face the fact that retirement wasn't what they'd hoped it would be. Money's short, and getting shorter with the constant rise in the cost of living; and they soon may have to give up their one indulgence - vacation on the beautiful white sandy beaches of Florida's Cape San Blas.
Reduced to staying in somewhat iffy accommodations with rather questionable neighbors, this former headmaster of a highly regarded prep school for young gentlemen, and his gracious wife, find themselves very much out of their element. But Juno is willing to put up with the roaches (of all varieties) as long as her beloved Winnie is happy - until one day she happens to see a heinous murder, and then learns a few hours later that Winnie's veritable brat of a grandson is coming for a visit! She can't decide which has her more afraid!
Samuel is a ten year-old monster - full of vicious pranks and attitude. Juno quite forgets about the spine chilling events on the pier the night of the murder when he arrives and begins his assault on their happy home away from home. Winnie and Juno try everything in their vast repertoire of tricks but Samuel is more than they can handle. And to make matters worse, the murderer strikes again and again - and suddenly Samuel is his target!
Definitely, the vacation from hell.
