Kate Ellis

Kate Ellis has been writing cracking murder mysteries for over fifteen years – The Merchant’s House was published in 1999 – and as I’ve reviewed most of them, I thought it was time for an index for the reviews. There are two main series – DI Wesley Peterson set in Devon and DI Joe Plantagenet set in Yorkshire – a standalone historical novel, and another set in the aftermath of the Great War, the first of a new series.
