TO CATCH AN ACTRESS AND OTHER MYSTERY STORIES

 “The classic murder mystery plots are reminiscent of Agatha Christie and Ellery Queen.”
Kirkus Discoveries

 “I really enjoyed it.  The writing is assured and lively, and the logic is credible......would make a great series....... accessible as a vehicle for TV or film.”
Barbara Kay, National Post Columnist

“Anyone interested in opera, music, theatre and/or local politics should enjoy Elwood’s good ear for dialogue and lively characters, which are often as much fun as the mysteries themselves.”
Annie Boulanger, Burnaby Now

“Ten intelligent stories told with wit and style...a value-packed summer read.”
Jan de Grass, Coast Reporter

“Elwood’s unique background adds witty dialogue and a good mix of the slapstick and the serious to her stories, and I suspect it won’t be long before we see some of the other tales appearing on the local stage.”
Dan Hillborn, Burnaby Now

“Polished and entertaining, and moves along at a lively pace.”
Eileen Kernaghan, author of The Alchemist’s Daughter

“If you like Da Vinci’s Inquest, you’ll enjoy Elwood’s book.  Great fun.”
Melanie Minty, Surrey Now

 “The characters in To Catch an Actress were made for murder mystery..cleverly construed.”
Jennifer Maloney, North Shore Outlook

 

A BLACK TIE AFFAIR AND OTHER MYSTERY STORIES

  “Well-crafted stories which will delight mystery fans.”
Kirkus Discoveries

 “Another fine production of the Beary family...Original and evocative... many (examples) ... that elevate (the author) from the common run of writers in the genre.”
Barbara Kay, National Post Columnist

“Elwood's believable situations , natural dialogue and wit make her stories a pleasure to read.”
Annie Boulanger, Burnaby Now

“This book will be loved by readers of traditional British authors such as Dorothy Sayers or Agatha Christie.”
Jan de Grass, Coast Reporter

“With subjects ranging from political to pantomime, anyone who likes a mystery will find something to enjoy."  The British Columbian.

“Writing short stoies that draw you in and keep you reading is not an easy task.  A Black Tie Affair succeeds with wit and charm."  Don Graves, The Hamilton Spectator.


THE BEACON AND OTHER MYSTERY STORIES

 “Smart plotting and a strong sense of place define this collection.  The beautiful settings and genuine personalities will charm."  Kirkus Discoveries

 “Readers of mysteries will enjoy this collection.  The book has literary value, too...many artful, lovely passages...this is very strong writing put to use for a great collection of engaging stories."   Editorial Evaluation for The Beacon
