Meet Ellie Quicke. Devoted cat lady, tea addict, widow — and now amateur sleuth!

Charity begins at home . . . and so does murder!

When Ellie started her own charity, providing affordable housing for students, she never dreamed it would end in
the untimely death of a tenant. Under her roof!

The dead student, Brandon, wasn’t one for lectures. But he was the life and soul of every party. Until he wasn’t . . .

On the night of his birthday, Brandon was hosting yet another rowdy soirée — when he went plunging to his death from the balcony.

None of his housemates can say exactly how it happened.

Did Brandon fall — or was he pushed?

The police say it’s just a tragic accident. But Ellie isn’t so sure — especially when poison pen letters start landing on her doormat.

Can Ellie uncover the truth before anyone else pays the ultimate price?

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!
