An Imajin Qwickies® Mystery/Crime Novella

Big mysteries often come in small packages…

When curmudgeonly private detective Betty Grape visits a young friend, who is housesitting in a remote village in England for Christmas vacation, something seems out of place. Her friend, Catia, is visibly nervous. Is she worried about the young men in the decrepit caravan in next door’s back garden? Or is Catia involved in the disappearance of the homeowner’s invalid wife?

As an American, Betty discovers the locals are full of friendly gossip but taciturn about solid facts. Though they are determined to keep Betty from butting in on their territory, she blunders through the social morass of narrow-minded foreigners and their broad Dorset accents. Can she unravel the tight knots of this mystery? Will she find the perpetrator under thickly thatched rooves or behind floral chintz curtains?

Review: TIED UP WITH STRING by Madeline McEwen

A heartwarming British cosy by a British ex-pat in America, TIED UP WITH STRING recalls adorable Village Mysteries with amateur--usually female senior citizens--sleuths. I have to admire Betty, resident of the Serebral Senior Home in San Jose, California, partner in a part-time detective agency. Nothing part-time about her intuition and cleverness, though, and her patience with the autistic (gained from a younger partner in the agency) enables her to stack up clues and solve not one, but three, mysteries. I look forward to future cozies in this series.
