Dorothy Cannell, a mother of four, grandmother of ten, and owner of a King Charles Spaniel, was born in England and moved to the United States when she was twenty. After living in Peoria, Illinois, she and her husband moved to Belfast, Maine. Her first Ellie Haskell novel, The Thin Woman, was selected as one of the 100 Favorite Mysteries of the Twentieth Century by the Independent Mystery Booksellers Association. The twelfth mystery featuring Ellie, whom Booklist describes as "part Miss Marple, part modern British mum," is Goodbye, Ms. Chips, available from St. Martin's Minotaur.
Ellie Haskell—the formerly plump girl turned Thin Woman, happily married mother of three, Gothic romance addict, and sometime sleuth—is back!
When her in-laws invite her to Yorkshire moors, Ellie can't resist. The name "Cragstone House" just sounds so much like the delightfully musty manors she reads about in books! And so she and her husband set off for Yorkshire, accompanied by their irrepressible housekeeper and co-conspirator in crime solving, Mrs. Roxie Malloy. But things at Cragstone turn out far less idyllic than Ellie expected. First the kindly cook, Mrs. Cake, suffers a mysterious fall down the stairs. Then a visiting vicar meets his death after drinking a cup of tea. Ellie has always thought it would be wonderful to be the heroine of a Gothic romance...but now she's beginning to wonder: Will she and Roxie be able to solve the mystery and get out of Brontë country alive? Or has Ellie reached the tragic dead end of her own fairy tale?
"One of the year's funniest and most engaging mysteries."—Elizabeth Peters, New York Times bestselling author of the Amelia Peabody mysteries
"A veritable meringue of a book, light and crisp and airy, but with enough of a puzzle to engage and entertain the reader."—Denver Post
