Judith Flynn takes a few days off from running her famous (or is it infamous?) Hillside Manor Bed and Breakfast and heads to the mountain town of Little Bavaria with her cousin Renie. Judith has agreed to help staff the B&B booth during Little Bavaria's Oktoberfest and she has her fingers crossed lest Cousin Renie should open her mouth and stir up trouble as she most often does. Then, during a diner at the beginning of the festival, Little Bavaria's beloved senior citizen Dietrich Wessler is found dead in the midst of the celebrations. Judith and Renie look into what's what with the help of local police chief Duomo who is kindly but not overly bright, and his assistant, sleeepy Ernie Schwartz who fought in Vietnam and won the Silver Star. Judith and Renie find that there is more going on than appears on the surface. Someone holds grudges that go back to World War II and is resolving issues with murder.
"The Wurst is Yet to Come" is a delightful and well-written mystery with twists and turns in the plot that will delight the reader. Judith and Renie are unforgettable characters with Renie's forthright outspokeness balancing Judith's serious nature. Police Chief Duomo, Ernie, the Denkels, the Wesslers, Connie Beaulieu and her husband, Father Dash and all the other characters add to the plot line which proceeds smoothly to the story's end. The fascinating mixture of past history and people's intermingled lives make "The Wurst is yet to Come" and author Mary Daheim's "Bed-and-Breakfast" series well worth putting on reading lists everywhere.
