'Beguiling' Review (supp. to The Observer) --Review (supp. to The Observer)

Product Description
When Kirsten Harbourn is found strangled and naked on her wedding day, DI Wesley Peterson makes some alarming discoveries. Kirsten was being pursued by an obsessed stalker and she had dark secrets her doting fiance, Peter, knew nothing about. But Kirsten's wasn't the only wedding planned to take place that July day in South Devon. At Morbay register office a terrified young girl makes her wedding vows. And a few days later her bridegroom is found dead in a seedy seaside hotel. As Wesley investigates he suspects that his death and his bride's subsequent disappearance might be linked to Kirsten's murder. Meanwhile the skeleton of a young female is found buried in a farmer's field - a field that once belonged to the family of Ralph Strong, an Elizabethan playwright whose play, "The Fair Wife of Padua" is to be performed for the first time in four hundred years. Is this bloodthirsty play a confession to a murder committed in the reign of Queen Elizabeth 1? Or does it tell another story, one that might cast light on recent mysteries?

5.0 out of 5 stars Fascinating read, 6 Jul 2007
By Robert J. Hartley - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Kate Ellis contnues to produce very high standard thrillers & this one is no exception.It is a throughly fascinating read that kept my attention throughout.

I note from reviewing Kate's website that alongside the continuing adventures of DI Wesley Peterson,she is to introduce a new series of crime novels with the first book "Seeking the Dead" due in Aug 2008 which I eagerly await.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another excellent read, 5 Jul 2007
By Frances Howard "Fran" (Liverpool England) - See all my reviews
This is another highly enjoyable book featuring the detective Wesley Peterson. The characters are well developed and the plot cleverly constructed with a historical twist.I would recommend this to all lovers of good detective novels.
I am particularly looking forward to her new psychological thriller series set in York which will be on sale in 2008.

I really enjoyed The Marriage Hearse, Wesley Peterson's a likeable detective and I do like the way the historical story provides a background to the modern day case.

5.0 out of 5 stars Kate does it again
Kate Ellis is a very engaging author, and the series with Wesley Patterson just gets better and better. I await her new series with anticipation.

1.0 out of 5 stars the book should've been in the hearse, not about it


This is about as lazy, formulaic and pointless as books get. She has clearly found a formula (this is the 11th Wesley peterson "novel") and is too scared or lacking... Read more
