Crooked Herring
ByPublisher Description
"You don't believe me, do you?" asked Henry. "That I might have killed somebody." Well, really. The genuine murderer—the real pro—tends to keep track of that sort of thing. And besides, there is no dead body to speak of. Understandably, Ethelred, our struggling mystery writer, is reluctant to help his colleague figure out whether or not he killed someone on New Year's Eve. But then his agent, the chocolate-chomping Elsie, points out that Henry is in a position to write a good review of Ethelred's work, and good reviews are worth going to a little bit of trouble for.
Peppered throughout with Amazon reader reviews, which add to the fun, and told from both Ethelred and Elsie's points of view, the book is a funny, insightful commentary on literary fame, as well as a solid mystery.

Crooked Herrings by L.C. Tyler
An Ethelred Elsie whodunnit based in England .. Ethelred is a mystery novelist who writes under various pseudonyms, Elsie is his chocolate chomping editor . She comes across as a caricature and Ethelred is one of the most incompetent detectives ever .
The mystery is not riveting, the plot not engaging .. I would describe the book as valid and inoffensive. Frankly it took all my will power to finish it to its tedious end , since I had worked out the mystery half way through as would any rational reader . I won’t be going back to this series again. I may be in the minority here , but I truly found it slow and boring .”
