The Importance of Being Ernestine: An Ellie Haskell Mystery

Dorothy Cannell

Ellie misses her housekeeper Mrs. Malloy when she starts moonlighting in a PI's office. One evening when Ellie visits Mrs. Malloy, they meet one of his clients, Lady Krumley, who tells them a tale that goes back 30 years to when she wrongfully dismissed her maid. When the maid died, she cursed the Krumley family. Now as family members begin to die, it looks as though the maid's child, Ernestine, is carrying out the curse.
