Inhalt

In this âEuro²entertaining gothic taleâEuro&#157; (<i>Chicago Sun-Times</i>) that âEuro²reads like <i>Wuthering Heights </i>on steroidsâEuro&#157; (<i>Publishers Weekly</i>), amateur sleuth Ellie Haskell gets caught up in the drama of a trio of ancient spinstersâEuro"and the ghosts of murder past.</b><br>  <br> âEuro²Rosemary, Thora, and Jane lived at the end of the lane, one was thin, one was fat, and one was very plain.âEuro&#157; This is how Ellie Haskell remembers her grandmotherâEuros three childhood friends, known collectively as âEuro²the bridesmaids.âEuro&#157; Ellie once asked her mother where the nickname came from and her mother replied, âEuro²ItâEuros a long story, best forgotten.âEuro&#157; After all, every family has its secrets.<br>  <br> Now, thirty years later, a letter from the bridesmaids arrives informing Ellie that her grandmother, Sophia, wishes to make contact. This might have been heartwarming news but for one small detail: Sophia is dead. Ellie sets out to visit the bridesmaids, expecting to set the record straight. What she gets is a life-changing journey into the unknown, from a séance and a hidden diary to a mysterious death that took place more than fifty years ago.<br>  <br> <b>Praise for <i>Bridesmaids Revisited</i></b><br> <b><i> </i></b><br> âEuro²Witty . . . [Dorothy] Cannell fleshes out an entertaining gothic tale, old-fashioned in structure, sprinkled with . . . wacky humor.âEuro&#157;<b>âEuro"<i>Chicago Sun-Times</i></b><br>  <br> âEuro²The tale sometimes reads like <i>Wuthering Heights </i>on steroids. . . . CannellâEuros smooth narration and her appealing, smart-mouthed characters charm you into suspending disbelief. The result is a thoroughly delightful puzzle.âEuro&#157;<b>âEuro"<i>Publishers Weekly</i></b><br> <i> </i><br> âEuro²Full of gothic touches and the ineffable sweetness of memory, this is clearly CannellâEuros best so far.âEuro&#157;<b>âEuro"<i>Booklist</i></b><br> <b><i> </i></b><br> <b>Praise for Dorothy Cannell and the Ellie Haskell series</b><br>  <br> âEuro²A thoroughly entertaining series.âEuro&#157;<b>âEuro"<i>Cosmopolitan</i></b><br> <b><i> </i></b><br> âEuro²It is the absurd predicaments of her central characters that readers find themselves recalling, and Cannell is cunning at devising outlandish situations for them.âEuro&#157;<b>âEuro"<i>Chicago Sun-Times</i></b><br>  <br> âEuro²Cannell is a master of subtle wit and humorous asides that lift her cozies to great heights. Before the influx of writers trying to out-humor Janet Evanovich, there was Dorothy Cannell. Long may she write!âEuro&#157;<b>âEuro"<i>Library Journal</i></b>
