Knopf, New York, 2006             The Plague Maiden2 reviews Kate Ellis Piatkus Books, 2004 Excellent read--mystery is why not a larger following I am a little surprised this author doesn't have more of a following in the U.S. I read this a while ago, so I am going to be lean on detail.

He's been assigned to a historic area and things keep turning up that use his expertise, directly or indirectly. This series is well-plotted and ...             The Bone Garden (Wwl Mystery)6 reviews Kate Ellis Worldwide Library, 2004 a terrifically engrossing read The archeological mystery is quite a popular sub-genre with many avid mystery lovers.

So why hasn't her Wesley Peterson mystery series been heralded with greater fanfare? It's not a series ...             A Painted Doom Kate Ellis Piatkus Books, 2006             Caught Looking: Feminism, Pornography & Censorship Beth Jaker, Nan Hunter, ...

For those readers who enjoy intelligent mysteries, her books will be a nice addition. Her Wesley ...             The Skeleton Room (A Wesley Peterson Murder Mystery) Kate Ellis Piatkus Books, 2003             The Armada Boy (Wesley Peterson Mystery 02)6 reviews Kate Ellis Piatkus Books, 2006 Firing a warning shot across the pond In Kate Ellis, British literature has a champion to contend with the commercial american heavyweights churning out their tuppenny paperbacks. In the Armada Boy, Ellis successfully produces three narratives of different periods of time, all around the same West Country area.
