Agatha Christie meets Downton Abbey in Florence's second case, a charming reminder of all the country house murders of Britain's golden ages * Kirkus Reviews on Death at Dovecote Hatch *
Cannell offers an Agatha Christie-like whodunit with touches of Olde World England and a soupcon of romance. With a multistranded plot, strong characters, and echoes of Rebecca, this mix of romance and crime will appeal to a wide range of readers. * Booklist on Murder at Mullings *
"Downton Abbey fans will pick up on the tone immediately: imagine the ever-reliable Mrs. Hughes narrating a mystery. Stepping away from her long-running Ellie Haskell series, Cannell has created a fascinating and leisurely paced historical, excelling at period details and class distinctions." * Library Journal on Murder at Mullings A strong cast of village characters and an intricate plot will keep cozy fans turning the pages * Publishers Weekly on Death at Dovecote Hatch *
