Ellie Haskell Mystery

review 1: Fairly crazy.Ellie, Ben, and Mrs. Malloy are driving through thick fog in the country and finally see lights ahead. They follow a van to a building that turns out to be a manor house in disrepair. They are about to film a reality series there. Ben stays to cook and Ellie to hang out. A black lab finds her and she falls in love with the dog but she has to give it back.Crazy and funny.Written in 2009 and 5 years later this is the last of the Ellie Haskell mysteries.
review 2: this was a british book and the rythm of the language is different from american english. Some of the humor you won't get- some you will. the book revolves around a decorator & her chef husband & their housekeeper being stranded in a fog at a old castle/manor where a new british reality ... moreshow is about to start. A cash short lord looking for a bride worthy of the title & she must be able to help him fix up the place & turn it around. I wish I got to know her husband Ben a bit more. You get a pretty good idea about the housekeeper Mrs. Malloy & the decorator (main character). I got a kick out of the fact the lord looks like Cary Grant. Anyway I am intrigued enough to try another one of her novels. I think it hurt that I couldn't devote big chunks of time to reading the book. Like I said earlier the rythem of her writing took me some getting used to. Next time I won't put the book down for days at a time. less
