Eleanor and the South Beach Murders

Praise for Eleanor And The Cold War by Ellen Yardley:

“An exciting historical series launch featuring former first lady Eleanor Roosevelt…Yardley renders her beautifully: tested by loss and personal pain, politically savvy, and attuned to the suffering at the mystery’s core, she’s an unforgettable sleuth. This series is off to a strong start.” —Publishers Weekly

“An engrossing story set in an era of communist hysteria.” —Kirkus Reviews

“Smarty, twisty…[Yardley] balances Eleanor’s wisdom with Kay’s sometimes impulsive decisions and good instincts; the women make an entertaining crime-solving team. Fans of historical mysteries will enjoy Eleanor’s (and Kay’s) foray into detective work among D.C.’s elite.” —Shelf Awareness

“The narrative captures attitudes and popular culture of the 1950s—the overriding concern for women to make a good match with a well-connected or wealthy suitor, the ease with which men slip into and out of relationships with women, the trappings of Alfred Hitchcock film storylines and heroines’ actions.” —Historical Novel Society
