Pressestimmen
From 'Publishers Weekly', 23/10/00: Returning to adult crime after many years, Heley introduces loveable widow Ellie Quicke in the first of what one can only hope will be a long series... Heley's keen observations and insights into her characters create a rich atmosphere of the social life in an English town... Combining sparkling wit and humor, quirky acts of fate and a dramatic ending, Heley provides all one needs for a satisfying read, except perhaps a cozy chair, a cup of tea and some chocolate biscuits.

What did Ellie see?
3. Februar 2001
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
Ellie Quicke, a middle-age woman accustomed to being dominated by her husband, Frank, suddenly finds herself a widow. She soon realizes she must deal with a greedy, bossy daughter and an obstreperous aunt who both feel they not only can tell Ellie what to do but that they also deserve a great amount of money from Frank's estate. To complicate matters, a murder occurs in the church, which lies directly across from Ellie's front window. Once the killer realizes that Ellie may be a witness to the crime, the chase is on. The author, Veronica Heley, has created a cozy English village mystery with Ellie Quicke, a very likeable character, as she begins to exhibit her emerging independence and courage. The reader is also treated to the author's very subtle humor throughout the story, which adds much enjoyment to the unfolding mystery. Let's hope we hear more of Ellie Quicke. Readers of Murder at the Altar will also enjoy books by M. C. Beaton, Dorothy Cannell, Jeanne Dams, and Caroline Graham.

Trite and predictable
11. Juni 2011
Format:Taschenbuch
In the past I enjoyed the books of few cozy British writers, like M C Beaton, Rhys Bowen or Emily Brightwell. So, I can honestly say that even if my preferance lays in the gritty, edgy crime writing, I am not an unfair judge of the English village subgenre.
Unfortunately, this trite and predictable book follows every cliche possible, without even an obligatory attempt for originality and creativity.
For once, in my compulsive mystery book buying, I stopped with the first in the series. Good bye Ellie Quicke.
