About this item
Fans of Jane Austen will rejoice at the third Little Library mystery from Elizabeth Kane Buzzelli, In Want of a Knife. When they investigate a string of disappearances of young girls, will Jenny Weston and Zoe Zola be dispatched with extreme pride and prejudice?Amateur sleuth and little librarian Jenny Wilson is set on edge when the police discover a young girls body, dressed in an old-fashioned white lace dress, just outside Bear Falls. And when another local girl from town disappears soon after, Jenny and her next-door neighbor, author and little person Zoe Zola, know they have to help the beleaguered police chief. But first, Jenny and Zoe have new neighbors to meet: A trio of wealthy newcomers from Chicago has just moved into a huge mansion on Lake Michigan. Nathan and Delia Wickley are genial siblings, and Fitzwilliam Dillon, the mansions owner, is a Little Person like Zoe. It is a truth universally acknowledged that a rich gentleman seeking to ingratiate himself to his new neighbors will spread a bit of largesse around, and Fitzwilliam is no exception: He has offered two million dollars to Bear Falls. But the townspeople are far from agreed on what to do with the money - and the deliberations are far from peaceful. But itll all come to naught if the missing girl isnt found, and the culprit identified. And when she ventures alone to a mysterious structure in the woods, Zoe may not live to resolve her romantic dilemmas. Though neither Jenny nor Zoe is particularly placid or even-tempered, love and danger beckon them in Elizabeth Kane Buzzellis third endearing Little Library Mystery, In Want of a Knife.
About the Author
I love living in the woods of northwest lower Michigan and receiving stories directly from nature. Nature gave me the crows that begin Dead Dancing Women; the low lake levels and the skeletons of Dead Floating Lovers; the unearthly place in the woods of book three, and the tent-worms: the overweening metaphor of book 4. My other work includes Gift of Evil (Bantam) , history books, short stories in lit mags world-wide; work done on stage, and on radio. I teach writing at a local college and at Skidmore College for the International Womens Writing Guild. I write for the Northern Express Magazine and am on the Michigan State Library's committee to choose the best Michigan books of the year.Both books of the Emily Kincaid series (currently out) have been well reviewed by Library Journal, PW, Booklist, Kirkus, Mystery Scene Magazine, Traverse City Record Eagle, Northern Express, Detroit Metro Times, and others.I am a member of Michigan Writers, Detroit Working Writers, International Women's Writing Guild, Sisters in Crime, and also a member of The International Crime Writers Association. I love hearing from readers and hope you'll contact me at my website: www.elizabethbuzzelli.com where Emily Kincaid, Deputy Dolly, and I all blog.
