The Blue Goose is Dead

The Blue Goose is Dead by Helen Goodman

Allison Aldridge's friend Catherine has been summoned by her unpleasant Aunt Bess, and asks Allison to come along for moral support. Aunt Bess lives at an abandoned lake resort, Blue Goose Lodge, so Allison expects a pleasant few days relaxing before returning to her teaching job.

But Aunt Bess is a mean-spirited, spiteful woman, and tells the assembled relatives she's selling the lodge to a lumber company. The lodge will be demolished and the land will be clear cut. She's signing the papers tomorrow.

Which relative did away with horrid Aunt Bess? Allison gets caught up in the investigation. A cozy read in the tradition of English manor house mysteries.
