Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Booklist
This is the eighth Ellie Quicke mystery from the prolific Heley. Like Agatha Christie's Miss Marple, or television's Jessica Fletcher, Ellie, a middle-aged widow, seems to keep getting mixed up in murder and mayhem. This time she has to find out whether the nephew of a friend is a killer, or a victim of mistaken identity. Meanwhile, Ellie is juggling an assortment of problems on the home front, including some unwanted attention from the local vicar. This cozy British mystery won't send chills down your spine, but it offers a pleasant way to spend an afternoon. David Pitt

5.0 out of 5 stars
thank god for a decent mystery novel,
By bookloverFLA (south of Sarasota FL) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Murder of Identity (Ellie Quicke Mystery Series #8) (Hardcover)
I am so tired of mystery novels that disappoint. I got this one from the library and it was lovely. So nice that I hoped there were more by the same author and YES there is a whole series.
I am now reading the second book (not in historical order because I started with the most recently published). Happy days.
