Description
The new Ellie Quicke mystery
Ellie Quicke is confronted by an angry young man, demanding to know what has happened to his elderly great aunt. Flavia Osborne had refused to move in with her relatives, telling everyone that she'd sold her secluded house and was moving to a retirement flat - but it seems she never arrived at her destination. Ellie is distracted by her difficult daughter Diana, who makes a shocking announcement, but Russ insists Ellie help him discover the truth. Where is Flavia, and who knows more than they are prepared to tell?

        July 25, 2011
        In Heley's irresistible 12th Ellie Quick cozy (after 2010's Murder by Mistake), a former neighbor of Ellie's in suburban London, Flavia Pryce, appears to have dropped off the map on her way to a retirement home several months earlier. Ellie scarcely knew Flavia, but becomes involved when she's mistaken for her own late aunt, Drusilla, who was close to the elderly woman. Flavia's relatives, who have long relied on her for financial assistance, are frantic to locate her. Ellie is, of course, curious—particularly after Rose, "her dear friend and housekeeper," insists she saw a spectral face at the window of Flavia's empty house. Suspicious characters include squatters, a light-fingered nephew, shady businessmen, and a gardener who still has access to the property. Meanwhile, Ellie's demanding daughter, Diana, makes life tough for both Ellie and husband Thomas. If you think you've seen Diana at her worst, just wait.

        September 1, 2011
        Trouble hits close to home as Ellie Quicke (Murder in the House, 2009, etc.) investigates a disappearance from a house around the corner.

        Something's amiss at Flavia Pryce's multi-storied, multi-gabled home. First, Ellie's housekeeper Rose falls off a ladder while tying back some rambler roses the gardener carelessly neglected—all because she sees a disembodied head floating mysteriously in the air above the garden that backs onto Ellie's house. Next, Flavia's great-nephew Terry shows up at Ellie's claiming that his aunt left for a nursing home but never checked in. A visit to Flavia's reveals footprints in the dust and a thriving vegetable garden, recently watered and picked. Ellie also learns more about Flavia's relations, stepchildren Edgar and Edwina, and Edwina's daughter Evangeline, all of whom sponge mercilessly off her. (Although none are as rapacious as Ellie's own daughter Diana, who threatens to disrupt her son's comfortable custody arrangement with his father if Ellie doesn't raid her charitable trust to finance Diana's latest scheme.) The local police are willing to look into the disappearance of Ellie's engagement ring right after Terry's visit, but they're indifferent to Flavia's fate. So it's up to the indomitable Ellie to find out why Flavia sold off her belongings, gave away her cats, set up a room for herself in a nursing home but never arrived.

        Ellie's fans will find all the typical pleasures in her 11th case: domestic felicity disrupted by dark doings and the eventual triumph of the good over the greedy.
