The Herring-Seller's Apprentice
Synopsis
In this Edgar-nominated cozy series opener, a second-rate British crime novelist and his quirky agent investigate his devious ex-wife&’s murder. A mediocre mystery-writer (and thus a purveyor of red herrings), Ethelred Tressider has even less interest in writing his books than his (dwindling) fan base has in reading them, and his agent—the pesky, nosy, vulgar, chocolate-chomping Elsie—has no interest in them at all. But with a name like Ethelred, things can always get worse, and when Ethelred&’s dishy ex-wife turns up dead, they do. The Case of the Dead Dish is the most exciting project Elsie&’s come across in years, but however much she bullies Ethelred he refuses to take much interest in the mystery. Chalk it up to some pathetic mid-life crisis? Maybe. But how much more interesting would it be to note that Ethelred&’s lack of interest raises what might be called some extremely interesting questions?Praise for The Herring-Seller&’s Apprentice&“Fans of comic mysteries will welcome British author Tyler&’s debut.&” —Publishers Weekly&“Tyler is a stylish writer, and his humor is both subtle and sly.&” —Booklist
