In this âEuro²entertaining gothic tale" (Chicago Sun-Times) that âEuro²reads like Wuthering Heights on steroids" (Publishers Weekly), amateur sleuth Ellie Haskell gets caught up in the drama of a trio of ancient spinstersâEuro"and the ghosts of murder past.  âEuro²Rosemary, Thora, and Jane lived at the end of the lane, one was thin, one was fat, and one was very plain." This is how Ellie Haskell remembers her grandmotherâEuros three childhood friends, known collectively as âEuro²the bridesmaids." Ellie once asked her mother where the nickname came from and her mother replied, âEuro²ItâEuros a long story, best forgotten." After all, every family has its secrets.  Now, thirty years later, a letter from the bridesmaids arrives informing Ellie that her grandmother, Sophia, wishes to make contact. This might have been heartwarming news but for one small detail: Sophia is dead. Ellie sets out to visit the bridesmaids, expecting to set the record straight. What she gets is a life-changing journey into the unknown, from a séance and a hidden diary to a mysterious death that took place more than fifty years ago.  Praise for Bridesmaids Revisited  âEuro²Witty . . . [Dorothy] Cannell fleshes out an entertaining gothic tale, old-fashioned in structure, sprinkled with . . . wacky humor."âEuro"Chicago Sun-Times  âEuro²The tale sometimes reads like Wuthering Heights on steroids. . . . CannellâEuros smooth narration and her appealing, smart-mouthed characters charm you into suspending disbelief. The result is a thoroughly delightful puzzle."âEuro"Publishers Weekly  âEuro²Full of gothic touches and the ineffable sweetness of memory, this is clearly CannellâEuros best so far."âEuro"Booklist  Praise for Dorothy Cannell and the Ellie Haskell series  âEuro²A thoroughly entertaining series."âEuro"Cosmopolitan  âEuro²It is the absurd predicaments of her central characters that readers find themselves recalling, and Cannell is cunning at devising outlandish situations for them."âEuro"Chicago Sun-Times  âEuro²Cannell is a master of subtle wit and humorous asides that lift her cozies to great heights. Before the influx of writers trying to out-humor Janet Evanovich, there was Dorothy Cannell. Long may she write!"âEuro"Library Journal
