Meet Ellie Quicke. Devoted cat lady, tea addict, recent widow — and now amateur sleuth!
Ellie needs a live-in carer to look after her elderly friend Rose. And dowdy but capable Claire needs a job. One look at Claire’s spotless CV and Ellie decides to give her a whirl . . . But what if Claire forgot to mention her most important experience — as a murderess?
One day soon after, Ellie returns home to her quaint Victorian townhouse, to find nothing is as it should be.
Gone are Ellie’s cozy chair and favourite biscuits. Even Midge the cat’s been banished to the garden. It can only be Claire’s handiwork.
Ellie won’t stand by and let a bossy stranger rule the roost. But before she can confront the battleaxe, a troubling rumour reaches Ellie’s ears. Stories of a missing girl, last seen riding in Claire’s car.
Maybe she ran away. But what if she met a darker fate . . . ?
And what if Ellie’s next?
Meet your next favourite sleuth in this wonderfully witty whodunnit.
Fans of the Reverend Richard Coles, Fiona Leitch, The Thursday Murder Club, Sarah Yarwood-Lovett, Agatha Christie, Janice Hallett, Peter Boland and Simon Brett will be hooked from the very first page!
