Meet Ellie Quicke. Devoted cat lady, tea addict, recent widow — and now amateur sleuth!
Five mysterious deaths, in as many weeks? Suddenly Ellie has something worse to worry about than her lodger’s questionable home-baking . . .
Kindly old Reverend Thomas is an easy man to love. Ellie should know. She married him, after all. But when she hears the news that Thomas — her Thomas — stands to inherit a small fortune, she can’t help but be suspicious.
Not one but five of Ealing’s most vulnerable old dears have popped their clogs. And Thomas is the one who stands to benefit.
Ellie can’t believe her hubbie could be mixed up in such a ruthless scheme. It’s up to Ellie to save his reputation — and catch the true culprit.
But she finds herself thwarted at every turn by Hetty, a belligerent new lodger who wants to take control of Ellie’s kitchen . . . and more besides.
Can Ellie solve the mystery, while she still has a home and a marriage left to save?
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!
