Dorothy Cannell Books Overview

The Thin Woman

Reluctant to show up at her family reunion carrying so many extra pounds, unmarried, overweight Ellie Simons hires Bentley T. Haskell to pose as her fiance, thus beginning a weekend of romance, jealousy, and murder. PW. K.

The Widow’s Club

Stylish, amusing, and deliciously wicked, the Misses Hyacinth and Primrose Tramwell are hired to investigate a woman’s organization whose members choose widowhood over divorce. With the help of a newlywed friend, the spinster sleuths stalk the mastermind of matrimonial murder. HC: Bantam.

Femmes Fatal

Once Ellie Haskell’s life was a fairy tale: the one about the overweight, underpaid interior designer who falls rapturously in love with a gorgeous prince and lives happily ever after. But now, four months after the birth of her twins, her worst nightmare has come true: the princess has turned into a frog and the bliss has gone out of the bedroom. Can a course in the sensual arts, featuring naughty nighties and Peach Melba Love Rub, rekindle the romance she and her adored Bentley once shared? It’s a question that leads Ellie straight to an organization called Fully Female. But before she can say ‘Marriage Makeover,’ one fellow vamp becomes a sex crazed zombie and another meets her end in a fatally frothy bubble bath. Then a third victim of amour turns up dead, and Ellie realizes it’s more than ill luck. Can Ellie catch a crazed killer before love gets a bad name.

How to Murder Your Mother-In-Law

The Thin Woman Ellie Haskell is back, in the most mischievous, marvelous mystery to hit the marital pike yet. Ellie’s mum in law Magdalene has moved in permanently and poor Ellie finds herself up to her formerly fat neck in crocheted doilies and cheap statues of Catholic saints. As Magdalene runs her finger over every surface in Merlin’s Court checking, undoubtedly, for dust, Eillie discovers that she isn’t the only woman in Chitterdon Fells with the ultimate mother in law problem three others are experiencing the same living hell. One tipsy evening, four imaginary plots to bump off the resident in laws are hatched and those plots start coming lethally true in real life. Ellie once again plunges into a desperate chase to outwit a killer.

How to Murder the Man of Your Dreams

When Ellie Haskell arrives at the Chitteron Fells Library meeting, she discovers the librarian’s corpse sprawled next to an open copy of The Dream Lover and must unmask the killer before she meets her own untimely an unromantic fate.

The Spring Cleaning Murders

A brand new Ellie Haskell mystery from the doyenne of malice domestic ‘wickedly witty…
outrageous plotting’ Chicago Sun Times. For thirteen years, Dorothy Cannell, the award winning author of The Thin Woman and The Widows’ Club, has enchanted readers who relish Nancy Atherton, Carolyn Hart, and Diane Mott Davidson. Now she brings us her inimitable Ellie Haskell hero*ine of the weight loss wars and busy mother of twins in a mystery that fizzes with deadly wit. Spring cleaning fever has Ellie nearly scrubbing the Merlin’s Court chandeliers with a toothbrush. But when yet another member of the Chitteron Fells Charwomen’s Association bites the dust, Ellie swaps scrubbing for sleuthing to find out who has more than dust bunnies and dirty dishes to hide. With Ellie and a madcap cast that includes her handsome husband Bentley, her feckless cousin Freddy, and caustic home helper Mrs. Malloy, The Spring Cleaning Murders is Cannell at her best. ‘If there’s anybody funnier than Dorothy Cannell, I don’t want to meet her until my sides stop aching.’ Nancy Pickard

The Trouble with Harriet

Dorothy Cannell is back, in a masterpiece of hilarity with a nod to Alfred Hitchcock’s comic film that embroils sleuth Ellie Haskell with a prodigal father, a lost cause saint, a litany of secrets, and, of course, a murder. After her hard domestic labor in The Spring Cleaning Murders pronounced ‘wickedly witty’ by the Chicago Sun Times all Ellie Haskell wants is a romantic getaway with her dashing husband, Bentley. Their bags are all packed for a trip to France…
until the arrival of Ellie’s long lost father, Morley Simons, toting the ashes of his platinum blond lady love, Harriet a femme fatale who has become a highway fatality. He has promised to return the ashes to her relatives. But when another accident makes Morley a murder suspect, Ellie must ask herself: is he a pawn in a deadly game? And how can she save him from arrest? Furthermore, how does an absent minded vicar’s obsession with eleventh century St. Ethelwort patron saint of virility relate to the mystery and to the secrets of her own heart? Soon it’s clear that love can be a very dangerous thing.

Bridesmaids Revisited

For fifteen years the award winning author of The Thin Woman, The Widow’s Club, and Down the Garden Path has enchanted readers across the country. Her latest, Bridemaids Revisited, secures her place as the doyenne of malice domestic. With handsome husband Bentley spending quality father and twins time away at a jolly holiday camp, Ellie Haskell plans on some quiet redecorating at Merlin’s Court. But she’s spooked by a letter from three friends of her maternal grandmother, Sophia half remembered as ‘the bridesmaids’ who say her grandmother is anxious to get in touch with her. The only problem is that Sophia has been dead for decades. Ellie sets off for the village where these old ladies all live together: a hearty outdoorswoman, a mousy veteran of three marriages, and the bosom pal who abetted Sophia’s secret trysts with an unsuitable gentleman. There, the bridesmaids hold a seance that spurs Ellie into piecing together Sophia’s romantic entanglements, their tragic outcome, and a dark and deadly truth surrounding Ellie’s own origins. Cannell adds to her ‘wonderfully dotty cast of characters’ The Denver Post in a mystery to die for.

The Importance of Being Ernestine

The Importance of Being Ernestine brings one of Dorothy Cannell’s splendidly dotty characters to front stage. Ellie Haskell has had her ups and downs with housekeeper Mrs. Malloy, but she misses her when the corpulent, caustic cleaning lady starts moonlighting in a private detective’s office nosing into his files as she dusts them. But when she summons Ellie there one evening for a woman to woman chat laced with her boss’s bourbon and unfiltered cigarettes, they hardly expect the belated arrival of his afternoon client. Lady Krumley, a hawk nosed matriarch clad in modish mourning sixty years out of date, tells them a tale that goes back thirty years to when she wrongfully dismissed her parlor maid, Flossie, secretly in the family way by the undergardener. Flossie died of tuberculosis soon after childbirth while striving to support herself and her child, Ernestine but not before vowing vengeance from beyond the grave on the rich Krumleys at Moultty Towers. Now, family members have started meeting with fatal accidents…
. Ernestine, Lady Krumley fears, is carrying out her mother’s dying curse. Can Ellie and Mrs. Malloy, the newly formed but unlikely detective duo, find Ernestine and prevent more Krumleys from crumbling in the churchyard without killing each other first?

Withering Heights

Ellie Haskell the formerly plump girl turned Thin Woman and happily married mother of three is also a sometime sleuth and a Gothic romance addict. When her husband’s young cousin, Ariel, turns up unexpectedly and begs Ellie to come to the Yorkshire moors to investigate some strange events at the house that her family has recently bought with their lottery winnings, Ellie can t resist especially since Cragstone House sounds so much like the delightfully musty manors she reads about in books.
And so Ellie and her husband set off for Yorkshire, accompanied by their irrepressible housekeeper and co conspirator in crime solving, Mrs. Roxie Malloy, who happens to have a long lost sister in the area. Things at Cragstone House are even more dire than Ellie expected. It s bad enough that the kindly cook, Mrs. Cake, has suffered a mysterious fall down the stairs, and a visiting vicar has keeled over dead while drinking a cup of tea, but one of the neighbors turns out to be Mrs. Cake s husband s glamorous old flame, whom Ellie finds more menacing than any cold blooded killer. Ellie has always thought it would be wonderful to be the hero*ine of a Gothic romance, but now she s beginning to wonder: Will she be able to solve the mystery and get out of Bronte country with her life, and her marriage, intact?

Goodbye, Ms. Chips

Ellie, the headmistress wants to see you. Words to strike terror in the heart of any inmate of St. Roberta’s boarding school who has failed to turn in her Latin prep, left out London on a map drawn of England, or prowled the ruins of the medieval abbey at dead of night. Ellie has been guilty of all these sins and more. Fortunately, however, she is no longer a pudgy, insecure adolescent but a happily married interior designer with three lively children and a beautiful home by the sea. The only cloud in the sky on this lovely day in June is the message relayed by her friend Dorcas, who became games mistress at St. Roberta s when the former coach, Ms. Chips, retired. Having heard of Ellie s success as an amateur detective, the headmistress, Mrs. Battle, wants Ellie to come and find out who has stolen the Loverly sports trophy and is seeking to bring embarrassment to the school. Her less than rosy memories of St. Roberta s notwithstanding, Ellie cannot refuse Dorcas s entreaties and finds herself in the thick of boarding school life, where an apparent schoolgirl prank soon gives way to murder.

She Shoots to Conquer

A dark foggy night. A big spooky mansion. And a reality TV dating show? It’s not exactly what Ellie Haskell expects to find when she s stranded near the Yorkshire moors with her husband Ben and plucky sidekick Mrs. Malloy. Even more surprising, Mrs. Malloy gleefully signs on with the other bachelorettes when she learns Lord Belfry is the prize. Why, some women would kill to marry a lord. And others, apparently, would die Even before the shooting starts, a would be bride is knocked out of the game literally in a fatal car wreck. Then another is struck by Cupid s arrow in an archery contest. Ellie is beginning to suspect that murder is a grim reality in this doomed TV production. And, somewhere in the dark passageways and hidden nooks of Mucklesfeld Manor, another life is about to be cancelled

Down the Garden Path

From the best selling author of the perennial favorite The Thin Woman comes a deadly game of secretsOne of the most beloved names in the cozy mystery market, Dorothy Cannell has been credited with originating the genre. In this classic display of her talents she tells the story of Tessa Fields, a young orphan determined to uncover her true origins. With the help of the Misses Tramwells, two endearing elderly ladies, and the reluctant assistance of her secret love, Harry Harkness, Tessa hits upon a scheme that finds her feigning amnesia and recovering in the Tramwells’s ancestral home. But it isn’t long before Tessa smells a rat. Why does the butler creep around in his socks, and what was he doing in her closet? How does the coquettish maid know all about Tessa and even more about Harry? And why are these little old ladies so fiendishly good at cards?It soon becomes apparent that the game being played out in this proper English town isn’t poker or whist it’s murder. And with the deck stacked against her, Tessa must unmask the perpetrator before she’s dealt a fatal hand.

God Save the Queen!

At gloomy Gossinger Hall, where the chill of centuries calls for three sweaters, Sir Henry Gossinger has just dropped a bombshell. After hours of unexplained penance on his knees in the chapel, he has announced to his unwitting relatives that he has announced to his unwitting relatives that he has written a new will…
bequeathing everything to his devoted butler, Hutchins. Not since the days of George III, when roguish Sir Rowland Gossinger was accused of stealing the queen’s silver tea strainer, has such a scandal threatened the family honor. But worse is yet to come. For Hutchins is missing, and it soon becomes apparent that the only thing the distinguished butler will inherit is a place in the cemetery. Found head down in the principle fixture of the twelfth century privy, he may have been the victim of foul play. And what could Hutchins have meant by his dying words, ‘God save the Queen’?To Flora, the deceased’s sweet young granddaughter, Hutchins’ death is a tragic loss. Raised by him in Gossinger Hall, she remembers her grandfather’s dedication to the noble Gossingers including Sir Henry’s social climbing wife and all the stately legends he told her over the silver polish. Only a new life in London, and the kindness of Vivian Gossinger, nephew and former heir to Sir Henry, can ease her pain. Yet soon Gossinger Hall’s history of treachery and intrigue topped by the ongoing rift with the Royal Family regarding the long lost tea strainer casts its shadow over Flora. And suddenly she finds herself caught in a murderously tangled web, where even a familiar face could hide the heart of a cold blooded killer.

‘A human head crashes through a window. A naked woman zooms by on a motorcycle. A sleazy lawmaker gets an arrow in the back. ‘That’s life in central Illinois or at least the twisted version of central Illinois concocted by 13 writers collaborating on a tongue in cheek mystery.’ So writes Christopher Wills of the Associated Press in his recent article covering the new serial book, Naked Came the Farmer. Building on the success of NAKED CAME THE STRANGER a collaborative effort of 20 Newsday staffers back in 1969 and on the success of NAKED CAME THE MANATEE a suspense thriller cooked up by 13 Miami based writers in 1995 now comes Naked Came the Farmer, a satirical, round robin murder mystery drawing on the talents of some of Illinois’ top writers.
