a five star read

I have read many of the Mrs. Malory mysteries by Hazel Holt. No matter which one you choose to read, each one of them is a delight. It is a comfortable read with nothing jumping out at you. If you enjoyed watching the TV series "Murder, She Wrote," then you will love all her books. They are all just a very interesting charming read with a mystery involved.

A Smart Enjoyable Sleuth
11 Jun 2010
First off, I am not sure how to spell Malory. The cover of the book spells the name with one L and the written pages spell it with 2 L's
Sheila Mallory, a middle-aged widow, of rural Taviscombe, enjoys her quiet life with a small band of friends that is until her friend Charlie Richardson, brings the quite chic Lee Montgomery home for a visit. Everyone had always thought that Charlie and Sheila would end up together, but sadly, that was not the case. However, Charlie respects Sheila's opinion and would really like for a friends opinion of his fiancé.
When Charlie needs to travel back to America to tie up some business deals, Sheila agrees to check in on her only to find her dead. Well, Sheila takes her responsibilities as a friend seriously and decided that it is her job to find the who and why of the killing; and unfortunately, the more that Sheila digs the more she realizes that Lee definitely had a past and it could have been just about anyone who killed her.
I enjoyed this book, though simple in its style, Ms Holt's writing is very much in the British style with subtle humor and many a leading culprit without overdoing the pitfalls that seem to be prevalent in most cozies mysteries today.

Mallory or Malory? Mrs. WHO Investigates?
12 Jun 2011
I am new to Hazel Holt and delighted with the writing and especially with Mrs. Mallory.
I used two l's because I have the 1989 release where the cover, title page, and
CIP all use Mrs. Mallory with two l's. BUT throughout this book, Mallory has just one l.
I see later editions use one l. Is that because the misspelling was missed in the original
St. Martin's Press edition of the book?
