Don't Miss this!

Dorothy has done it again! Even though my spouse looked at the book on nightstand and then promptly announced he'll be sleeping on the couch it was worthwhile! It permitted me to stay up late into the night reading like you will laughing out loud as Elie stumbles across a librarian mysteriously and meeting her demise in the city library, then finds herself vis-a-vis with "Karisma" the hunk of hunks from her favorite romance novels coming to town. Karisma becomes endangered by possibly the same entity that caused the librarian to have a meeting with the grim reaper and Elie finds her own life endangered unless she finds the mysterious presence of Chitterton Fells Library. Don't miss this especially if you're a Dorothy Cannell fan!

Enchanting, delicious, wild ride

I just finished this book, which was the most light-hearted, inventive, delicious read I've had in a really long time. A page- turner with characters who are completely improbable and very touching and believable at the same time. Cannell does a brilliant job of weaving together a dozen plots. I laughed out loud for most of the book. It's a love story, a mystery, a sneaky rumination on duty and daily life (but so gracefully done that it never gets didactic.) I can't compare her to any other writer -- I know writers who try to be this funny, but very few who succeed.I'm going to read the rest of the Ellie Haskell mysteries. I'm so glad there are more!
