Summary
Ellie Haskell returns for another hilarious mystery that begins when Ellie's long-vanished father reappears in her life, carrying the ashes of his lost love and drawing Ellie into a murderous puzzle. 17,500 first printing. Tour.
Amazon.com description: Product Description: 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.
