The Trouble with Harriet

Published: 6/13/2017
In a murder mystery so charming it could only have come from Dorothy Cannell—hailed by Nancy Pickard as “America’s P. G. Wodehouse”—Ellie Haskell is shocked when her long-lost father shows up on her doorstep with some rather . . . compromising baggage. Ellie Haskell and her husband, Ben, haven’t taken a vacation in years. Now their suitcases are packed, their tickets are booked, and they’re ready for a romantic getaway in France. But everything goes…

Ellie stops by a Gypsy woman to have her future told. The woman tells Ellie that she shouldn’t be upset or surprised when her father shows up. Ellie’s father has been absent for most of her life with the exception of the occasional letter. When he does arrive, Ellie cannot believe he is there. But there is something wrong. He talks about Harriet being in his suitcase, which makes Ellie and her husband, Ben, suspicious. They listen to his story about meeting Harriet and her death.

 

This is the 8th book in the Ellie Haskell mystery series. There were too many characters in the story. Some were developed while others were merely mentioned. I got confused between some of the characters and had a time keeping them straight. I have enjoyed other books in the series but I felt this one was a bit long.
