Critics Review
Praise for MURDER FLIES THE COOP
“Captivating … Ellicott smoothly injects such serious issues as the impact of WWI on its survivors and the restrictions of the English class system into a light whodunit.”
—Publishers Weekly
Praise for MURDER IN AN ENGLISH VILLAGE
“Ellicott’s debut delivers the traditional trappings of the cozy mystery.”
—Kirkus Reviews
“Well-drawn women of a certain age, plot twists, and details of wartime and postwar Britain distinguish this historical cozy, which will appeal to fans of Frances Brody’s Kate Shackleton and Kerry Greenwood’s Phryne Fisher.”
—Booklist
“With its strong sense of place and time in post-World War I England, this will be welcomed by fans of Frances Brody’s Kate Shackelton mysteries.”
—Library Journal, starred review
“A spectacular series launch.”
