The Thin Woman
by Dorothy Cannell

In this delectable debut that earned her instant acclaim, award-winning author Dorothy Cannell serves up a cozy murder mystery to be savored . . .

Ellie Simons stands to inherit her Uncle Merlin’s huge English country house. But on three utterly bizarre conditions. One: she must lose 63 pounds (rude!). Two: she must marry the fake fiancé she’s been passing off as her true love all weekend. And three: she must catch whoever killed Uncle Merlin in the first place.

Her family constantly mock her single status (and her weight!), so Ellie hired a boyfriend for this latest awful family reunion at Merlin’s Court. Bentley T. Haskell is devastatingly handsome and so annoying — and he’s making this fake engagement very difficult . . .

But Bentley and her catty family are the least of Ellie’s worries. Uncle Merlin’s death looks more than a little bit like murder. Which can only mean one thing. One of her horrid relatives is the killer . . .

AN UTTERLY CHARMING ENGLISH COZY MURDER MYSTERY TO SINK YOUR TEETH INTO.

Genre: Historical Crime & Mystery
