Product Description

Product 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 --This text refers to the Mass Market Paperback edition.

Ingram

When a British tour guide accepts money to kill a woman, sleuth Elizabeth MacPherson suspects something is wrong and sets out to foil the plot. Reprint. NYT. --This text refers to the Mass Market Paperback edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars For Anyone who has traveled with a tour group, April 18 2003
By TennWoman "tennwoman" (Hixson, Tennessee USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Missing Susan (Mass Market Paperback)
I could not stop laughing. Having traveled with many tour groups I not only recognized Susan; I recognized the other usual suspects on any tour group. I bought the book because someone told me about hearing Sharyn McCrumb describe how the book came to be after she had gone on a group tour. There was an obnoxious traveler in the group named Susan and everyone in the group started playing with the idea of how to get rid of her. When McCrumb told the group that she thought it would make a good story, the group insisted that she write it and use their real names. The only problem was how to tell Susan that she was the intended victim. However, like all self-absorbed people she assumed that the author had made up this terrible person and used her name. Whether that is a true story or not it is an interesting idea.

Every group has a Susan who drives everyone crazy and while not resorting to murder, the group would like to get rid of their Susan.

5.0 out of 5 stars Side Split howl of a mystery!!, Dec 2 2002
By Deborah MacGillivray "Author," (US & UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Missing Susan (Mass Market Paperback)
This was the first Sharon McCrumb I read (definitely, not the last), was given to me in a promotion set of 10 mysteries. This is the only one I recall, and with just cause. Starting from the title, this book is just the opposite of what you expect. It is fresh, with a dry humour that is so engaging. Since reading this, I am a dyed in the wool McCrumb fan, and this is one of her best!!

This is the 6th Elizabeth McPherson novels. This time, she is on a tour of England, with a motley crew, and one really aggravating heiress, Susan. Susan's uncle has paid the tour guide to bump his niece off somewhere along the trip...only one problem - he keeps missing Susan.

It is so funny, a mystery where you are rooting for the bad guy to succeed!! McCrumb has taken the typical mystery and set it on its ear!!
