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 money: 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 . . . ?
