Ellie Haskell Synopsis: The Thin Woman by Dorothy Cannell is the debut of her Ellie Haskell character and book 1 in the Ellie Haskell Mysteries series. Ellie Simons is overweight and single, and thus she isn’t too excited about the family reunion. She decides to hire Bentley T. Haskell to pretend to be her fiance for a weekend of romance, jealous and even murder.
In The Widow’s Club by Dorothy Cannell (book 2 of the series), Hyacinth and Primrose Tramwell must look into a woman’s group that would rather kill their hubbies than divorce them. Along with their newlywed friend, the two detectives watch over the brains of the operation.
