Meet Ellie Quicke. Devoted cat lady, tea addict, recent widow — and now amateur sleuth!
Ellie can’t believe her ears when a sombre builder calls to tell her the news.
Ellie’s prickly old Aunt Drusilla is dead!
They found her body this morning. Frazzled by a faulty TV antenna in the bedroom.
Ellie races round to Drusilla’s handsome Victorian terrace to find the door sealed with police tape.
Everyone says her death was a tragic accident. But Ellie’s not so sure.
A chat with Rose, Drusilla’s long-suffering carer, would help Ellie get to the bottom of it all. But Rose has vanished without a trace. Just like Drusilla’s cleaner . . .
Meanwhile, the police have found their prime suspect. Someone who’s been hanging around the scene, eager to get their hands on Drusilla’s Ellie’s daughter, Diana!
Diana may be an entitled madam, but Ellie can’t believe she’d be capable of murder.
Can she find the real killer before it’s too late . . . ?
Meet your next favourite sleuth in this wonderfully witty whodunnit.
