The Importance of Being Ernestine
by Dorothy Cannell

Interior designer Ellie Haskell turns private investigator in this utterly charming English cozy caper by bestselling author Dorothy Cannell.

Ellie must find a housemaid’s missing daughter — the only problem is she hasn’t been seen for thirty years.

Ellie is asked by the snooty Lady Krumley to find a missing girl.

Ernestine is the daughter of Lady Krumley’s late housemaid, Flossie, who was unjustly fired thirty years ago on suspicion of stealing her mistress’s emerald brooch.

With her dying breath, Flossie cursed the entire Krumley family. Ever since, the Krumley clan have been falling foul of deadly accidents. Lady Krumley beseeches Ellie to find the missing Ernestine so she can right this ancient wrong and stop the family curse.

With the clock ticking, Ellie is in a race against time to find the troublesome Ernestine before any more ‘accidents’ occur . . .

An utterly charming English cozy murder mystery, perfect for fans of M.C. Beaton, Rhys Bowen, Steve Higgs and Richard Osman.
