Kathy Lynn Emerson recommends
Murder in an English Village (2017)
(Beryl and Edwina Mystery, book 1)
Jessica Ellicott
"Remember the name Jessica Ellicott. Her deftly executed debut novel, in which two female amateur detectives, one American and one English, work together to solve an old mystery and a new murder in post-World War I England, is a delight from start to finish. The characters are interesting, the plot is intriguing, and there is the added attraction of a cute little dog. What more could fans of historical cozies ask for?"
Delivering the Truth (2016)
(Quaker Midwife Mystery, book 1)
Edith Maxwell
"[Rose's] strong personality combined with the author's distinctive voice and vivid writing style transported me instantly to another time and place."
