Last Bitter Breath - Arden Woods Thriller S M Barton

Book 2 of the Arden Woods Spy Thriller Series.... A terminally ill woman, experienced in creating and defusing chemical and biological weapons, is sent to the Bard's Bed & Breakfast to live out her last days in comfort. Only trouble is she has no intention of going quietly! Linda Romano is determined to make everyone miserable or die trying! The gang at the Bard's Bed & Breakfast on Vermont's Lake Champlain is back in another tale of twisted intelligence plots and deceptions that would have left Shakespeare shaking his head in dismay. Blackmail and murder are on the agenda as the bedridden patient forces her nurse, "Horrible Harry", and her doctor to do her evil bidding. And the two Syrian wards, staying at the Bard's for safekeeping? They're anything but safe! There's never a dull moment in Arden Woods....

Duplicitous deceivers, treacherous traitors, and star-crossed lovers -- what would Shakespeare make of all this modern day mess? Beatrice (not her real name) and husband Benedick (not his real name) bicker incessantly, just as the characters from "Much Ado About Nothing", even as they work to protect their CIA guests from a devious manipulator bent on wreaking havoc with the world. Are these intelligence experts now targets?
