About this ebook
In this Edgar-nominated cozy mystery, a sub-par literary agent and her crime-writing client must ferret out a murderer in a French hotel.
Ethelred Tressider is eager to pack in his career a mid-level mystery author—and happy to leave his (deservedly) long-suffering agent, Elsie, holding the bag. But Elsie has tracked Ethelred from England to his hideout, a run-down hotel hosting a stamp-collectors' conference in the French Loire Valley.
After a guest is stabbed, other murders follow—as does a swarm of policemen. Suspicion soon falls on the remaining guests, while Ethelrod can't be bothered to help, and Elsie can't resist the urge to meddle in police business—or devour chocolate. But soon both agent and author are joining forces to say " Au revoir" to the killer.
Perfect for fans of Agatha Christie and other authors of Golden Age mysteries
Praise for The Herring-Seller's Apprentice
