Three Sisters and Showstoppers are two
novella-length stories in the Emily Castles mystery series. The first
full-length novel, Invitation to Die, will be published by Thomas
& Mercer in October 2013.
The Emily Castles mystery series is set
in present-day London. It features twenty-six-year-old Londoner Emily
Castles and her neighbor, eccentric philosophy professor Dr. Muriel
Crowther. In Three Sisters, Emily goes to a party in a big house at
the end of her street. She's sure she witnesses a murder, but no one
will believe her. She teams up with Dr. Muriel to investigate.
In Showstoppers, Emily helps out at a
local stage school run by her neighbor, Victoria. Soon she's mixed up
in a blackmail plot and two deaths. Emily and Dr. Muriel team up to
prevent further a massacre live on stage during the end of term
show.

My Thoughts:
I thoroughly enjoyed these two novellas. They were fluffy and fun and the main character is pretty delightful. I enjoyed Emily and how she ticks. She's smart, witty, and charming. The books were quick and entertaining. I will look for more of Helen Smith's work and look forward to more of Emily's stories!
