Under an English Heaven (#1)
In Under an English Heaven, the first Ellie Kent mystery, Ellie has left behind her college teaching job and life in San Francisco to marry a handsome widowed vicar and live in a Cotswold village. At first, she thinks her biggest challenge will be to gain acceptance from the villagers as a foreigner and "incomer." But, when she discovers a dead man in the churchyard, her outsiderEnglish status leads to her becoming the prime suspect in his murder. To prove her innocence, Ellie finds she must draw on her research skills to unravel a web of decades-old secrets before more people die—and her new life unravels too.
What Child Is This? (#2)
Ellie Kent imagined that spending Christmas in the Cotswolds would be like living in an Advent calendar. But the pleasures of mummers and mince pies, caroling and candlelight are interrupted when a distraught couple asks for her help. Their 20-year-old daughter has been missing for more than two months, and the police search has gone cold. Ellie remembers being a runaway herself and knows she can’t refuse. As she learns more about the missing Oxford student, she finds a trail that seems to connect an abandoned baby, a drama club, and a group of girls who identify with Shakespeare’s tragic Ophelia. Does that mean there is a Hamlet involved . . . and is he a killer?
