Meet Ellie Quicke. Devoted cat lady, tea addict, recent widow — and now amateur sleuth!
Someone on Ellie’s sleepy little street is hiding a dark secret.
Renovations are finally underway in the garden next door, when the builders dig up something terrible. The skeleton of a young woman!
She’s been buried there for fifteen long years. But her name is a mystery the police can’t solve.
Could she be one of Ellie’s former neighbours?
Ellie sifts through her memories, hoping to stumble on a clue that will break the case. But her trip down memory lane is fraught with danger.
Little does she suspect, the real killer is still out there, stalking the Close.
And they’re determined to put a stop to Ellie’s snooping before she remembers too much . . .
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!

MEET YOUR NEW FAVOURITE SLEUTH
For the past three decades, fifty-year-old Ellie Quicke has tried to please her domineering husband Frank. Now he’s dead, she must learn to put herself first. She discovers she’s capable of more than she ever dreamed. Like sending emails, saying ‘no’ to her spoiled offspring . . . and even solving the odd murder or two!
