Praise for Slay Bells "Anytime a Pennyfoot Hotel Mystery is published is a time for rejoicing."--Midwest Book Review "A true holiday gem."--Mystery Scene Magazine "The author draws as much from Fawlty Towers as she does from Agatha Christie, crafting a charming...cozy delicately flavored with period details of pre-World War I rural England."--Publishers Weekly "A return visit to the Pennyfoot Hotel brings a great mystery for the holiday season...Cecily Sinclair Baxter is a delightful heroine...The secondary characters add great texture and richness to the setting. This book has it all: a great mystery, wonderful characters and a charming setting."--RT Book Reviews
