Murder Flies the COOP
Murder Flies the COOP | Jessica Ellicott
7 posts | 7 read | 6 to read
One would hardly call them birds of a feather, but thrill-seeking American adventuress Beryl Helliwell and quietly reserved Brit Edwina Davenport do one thing very well together--solve murders . . . Sharing lodging in the sleepy English village of Walmsley Parva has eased some of the financial strain on the two old school chums, but money is still tight in these lean years following the Great War. All of Beryl's ex-husbands have proven reluctant to part with her alimony, which is most inconvenient. So when the local vicar--and pigeon-racing club president--approaches them with a private inquiry opportunity, the ladies eagerly accept. There's been a spot of bother: the treasurer has absconded with the club's funds and several prized birds. Beryl and Edwina hope to flush out the missing man by checking his boardinghouse and place of employment at the coal mine. But when they visit the man's loft, they find their elusive quarry lying in white feathers and a pool of crimson blood, stabbed to death--the only witnesses cooing mournfully. After a stiff gin fizz, the ladies resume their search for the missing funds and prized birds--and now a murderer. Beryl and Edwina aren't shy about ruffling a few feathers as they home in on their suspects. But they had better find the killer fast, before their sleuthing career is cut short . . .

Book 2 is a lot of fun and I‘m enjoying learning more about these characters. The more I read the more I like it. I‘d highly recommend this series! 4⭐️

How can I be so busy, just staying home? 😂 Too many projects, I guess. Anyway, I missed posting yesterday. This is a relatively new series, just three books out so far, and the first was definitely the best. Beryl and Edwina are an interesting pair, and the setting in an English village always pulls me in. Plus, this is signed by the author 😊

Andrew65 Love the cover! 4y

A cute historical murder mystery. I love the two main characters, Beryl and Edwina, but I thought the first book in this series was better. This dragged in places and ended up with a rather complicated ending. 3.5⭐️

KerriNTurner What a great cover! 5y

A quiet morning after a crazy few days, and a chance to get off by myself for breakfast and my very entertaining book.

I pulled this off the shelf for my next read, and found this when I opened it! I won it in the author‘s giveaway when it was released a few weeks ago. There was a sweet note in the package, but I didn‘t realize she‘d signed the book as well. About to immerse myself in one of my favorite places, an English village, with two delightful characters.

minkyb Lovely surprise. 5y

Just started reading this book. It has two of my favorite things: #historicalmystery and an English village. #ilovecozies #1920s #England

Lynnsoprano I won the author‘s giveaway, so even though I have it on my Kindle, I‘m waiting for the physical book to read it. 6y
SaraRosett @Lynnsoprano I‘d do the same thing! I love my ereader but there‘s nothing like hard copy. 😀 6y
