Customer Reviews

Dennison is quickly headed for the front of the pack in this genre!

A good strong English mystery. Hannah Dennison is fast becoming a favorite novelist of mine. She paints a mystery the good ol'fashioned way with a clever wicked twist, stirred with a tinge of fleshy heat. My mind was led by her descriptive words then whipped my feet into motion as I was led to a seat right there in the pews during the funeral, or at her shoulder as she did her detective work in the streets of Gipping. I will be giving this book to many for gifts to read over the summer. Bravo Ms. Dennison! p.s. I am impatiently awaiting your next!

Agatha Christie Fan

I finished reading SCOOP! last night and I'm still smiling. The mystery was a great puzzle, and the author writes with a wonderful, sly sense of humor. I was always an Agatha Christie fan. Discovering Hannah Dennison is like finding a new Christie, but one who can make us laugh, too. Definitely recommended.

A new "Vicky Hill"!

I love the sly British humor in this book, and the mystery was a real puzzle. I'd never heard of Hannah Dennison until someone gave me her previous book about Vicky Hill, but I bought this one and now I'm looking forward to the next one. Highly recommended to anyone who wants to spend time in an English village, and solve a murder without leaving the house.

Addicted to humor in mysteries

I was delighted when I discovered the first book in this series a year ago, and because I so enjoyed it I admit to being a little worried: could the author keep up the high standard she'd set? The answer is yes! Hannah Dennison is a writer who was new to me, but I've become her fan. SCOOP! is so full of eccentric and entertaining characters that I'd almost like to move to Gipping-on-Pym. The mystery is a clever plus. as it was in the first book, "A Vicky Hill Exclusive." The author has a gift for coming up with bizarre ways to die: electrocution by hedge clipper? And yet when I entered the world of this book I found myself believing all of the nutty goings-on. I highly recommend this book for anyone who wants a good mystery and a good laugh. Hannah Dennis is a real find!
