When obscure criminal offense writer Ethelred Tressider vanishes, his dogged literary agent, Elsie Thirkettle, is soon on his path. Finding him (in a ramshackle hotel in the French Loire) proves surprisingly easy. Taking him home proves more challenging than expected - but (as Elsie observes) who would have forecasted that, in a hotel packed with stamp lovers, the friends would abruptly start murdering each other? One guest is found fatally stabbed, seemingly the victim of an intruder. However when a abundant Russian oligarch also dies, in a hotel now swarming with policemen, suspicion comes on the rest of the friends. Elsie is torn between her natural need to interfere in the police analysis and her urgent need to escape to the town's chocolaterie. Ethelred, in the meantime, seems to learn about the killings than he's letting on. Finally enough time comes when Elsie must put together the various suspects in the Dining Room, and reveal the reality... Ten Little Herrings is a brilliantly anarchic take on the classic Country House Mystery, and an uproarious sequel to the first Elsie and Ethelred secret, The Herring Seller's Apprentice.
