Murder at the Altar (Ellie Quicke Mystery Series #1)

Ellie Quicke is struggling to re-establish her place in life after her husband's death.
As she begins to come to terms with her circumstances a brutal murder takes place in the church opposite. Is this something to do with the fighting couple next door? Or are the police as mistaken in their enquiries as she suspects? Ellie's mind is fogged by sleeping pills, but she's sure she saw something important that night.
In the meantime, her relatives are vying for their share of her husband's will, and more than one potential suitor is already on the scene.
Ellie begins to weigh up the strange goings-on in the neighborhood. Does the boy next door know more than he's saying? The murder victim's mother is missing. And something is happening to Ellie. A personality more astute and capable is emerging from her unassuming past. Perhaps there is more to her than people imagine after all. But soon her own life is under threat.
