Product DescriptionEdgar 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 PetersFrom the Paperback edition.From the PublisherI particularly enjoy mysteries that allow me to play thearmchair traveler, following along as the detective visits famoussites or interesting corners of the world. Sharyn McCrumb'sMISSING SUSAN is one of the best examples of this kind ofmystery. In MISSING SUSAN, Elizabeth MacPherson, forensicanthropologist and sleuth, decides to go on a tour of England'smost famous murder sites. She isn't aware that Rowan Rover, thetour guide and Jack the Ripper expert, has been hired to kill atour member -- the obnoxious young heiress Susan Cohen. Throughout the story, we are treated to a travelogue of England'smore gruesome tourist spots, as well as Sharyn McCrumb's drylyhumorous prose. MISSING SUSAN inspired me to take the Jack theRipper tour myself -- and although I didn't encounter any murdersother than those of Jack the Ripper, the atmosphere was decidedlymore intriguing due to this book.--Malinda Lo, Editorial Assistant
