About this title

About the Author:

Elspeth Campbell Murphy is often asked about her first name. It is a Scottish form of Elizabeth and is pronounced just like it's spelled, with the accent on the El.

Elspeth has more than one hundred books to her credit and sales approaching six million worldwide. She is the author of the bestselling series THREE COUSINS DETECTIVE CLUB and the YOUNG COUSINS MYSTERIES.

Elspeth is graduate of Trinity College and Moody Bible Institute. She was born in Hamilton, Scotland, near Glasgow, then spent her early years in Canada. But most of her life, Elspeth has lived in Illinois where she currently lives with her husband, Michael. From her home-office window, Elspeth can see a school on one side and a zoo on the other. She says it's fun to go to sleep at night, hearing the roar of the lions over the roar of the buses.

From School Library Journal:

Grade 2-4?Sarah-Jane, Timothy, and Titus are cousins in a "good-boring" situation: they are spending a week with their grandmother. They visit an old house in which their great-great-great grandfather did the woodwork, and find that they have a mystery to solve. Patience, their four-year-old third cousin, is an aggravation, but she eventually helps them find some missing jewels and reveal the secret behind an old family rhyme. Along the way, the children learn something about being patient with difficult people. Endearing characters, just enough suspense, and intriguing plot twists make this series entry one that deserves consideration. The message is delivered naturally, without intruding on the plot. The writing quality compares favorably with Elizabeth Levy's "Something Queer" books (Hyperion) and David Adler's "Cam Jansen" series (Viking), but the addition of a religious point of view gives it something extra. Quality Christian fiction, especially on this level, is hard to find. Give this little gem a look.?Connie Parker, Cuyahoga County Public Library, Cleveland, OH
