Inspector Felse Mysteries

 

Flight of a Witch

Country legends and everyday human nature combine in this mystery about a young lady, a schoolteacher, and an unknown lover. We meet the same lovable cast of Inspector Felse, Dominic (17 in this book) and Bunty, presented with all the considerable charm and skill of Edith Pargeter under the pen name Ellis Peters.

The Grass-Widow's Tale
This mystery/thriller features not Inspector George Felse, but his wife Bunty. Bunty proves herself a very capable person and detective as she survives this tale. Not only is the ending a bit of a surprise, but there are several surprise turns along the way. If you are attentive, however, you can anticipate many of them.

Others

This section remains unorganized. These are simply further listings from Ellis Peters which I haven't yet had time to catalog at all.

Never Pick Up Hitch-Hikers (50 Classics of Crime Fiction, 1950-1975)

Ellis Peters / Published 1983

This is a delightful little book with delightful characters. A young man who is smart, naïve, luck and unlucky. It doesn't have any of the regular characters of Ellis Peters' series, but it is a good deal of fun on its own. A classic combination of accident and planning.

The House of Green Turf

Ellis Peters
(Hard to Find)

ISBN: 0002313030

The House of Green Turf is a story set partly in the midlands with our old friend Inspector George Felse and partly on the continent of Europe. As much suspense as mystery, this story has the fine characterisation and descriptions which we have come to expect from Ellis Peters, along with plenty of mystery and action. It's hard to find, but if you can find it (try your local library) it's worth it.
