Book Description:
Edgar Award winner Sharyn McCrumb brings you her sixth Elizabeh MacPherson mystery novel.
The unsinkable Elizabeth is on tour of England's most famous murder sites, when Rowan Rover, the group leader, is quietly asked to commit murder. He does, of course, but not without misgivings--not the least of which is having Elizabeth MacPherson, canny observer and all-around murder spoiler, on his tail...

"Sharyn McCrunb is definitely a rising star in the New Golden Age of mystery fiction. I look forward to reading her for a long time to come."
Elizabeth Peters

Everyone wants to kill her, I did and she was just a character in a book :) Sharyn McCrumb's books make me laugh out loud and yet it still has a good mystery for you to figure out. I highly recommend all of her books!

This is a hilarious story - sort of a how-is-it-going-to-be-done instead of a who-dun-it.

The unsinkable Elizabeth MacPherson is on tour, traveling with a charmingly gruesome caravan of Americans visiting England's most famous murder sites. The cantankerous and condescending guide, Rowan Rover, thinks he's shockproof - until a mild-mannered American businessman on his Jack the Ripper walk aska a small favor: since Rowan knows so much about murder, would he mind committing one, for a nice, fat fee? Surprised at himself, Rowan agrees to eliminate the unsuspecting Susan. It's not that he doesn't have misgivings; he does. But he's already cashed the check; he desperately needs the money, and, well, there are rules about gentlemen's agreements, aren't there? Enter Elizabeth MacPherson, canny observer and all-around murder spoiler. No would-be assassin needs her on his tail. But there she'll stay until the end of the tour or the completion of Rowan's mission - whichever comes first ...

According to the critics "Sharyn McCrumb, a beguiling wordsmith,s erves up a sprightly dish, seasoned liberally with humor and more than a dash of irony."

I love all Sharon McCrumb's stories, and her Elizabeth McPherson series is delightful, funny yet I would not consider them "light".

This is a series about Elizabeth MacPherson who is not your ordinary amateur sleuth, as a matter of fact she usually needs lots of help and makes lots of mistakes. A light read.
