<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Just as Ellie Quicke is beginning to come to terms with life as a widow, malicious letters start to spread through the parish. The much-loved vicar and the rather feeble organist, Nora, are the first targets. Soon chaos is reigning in the parish and Ellie is called on to help.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Cozy fans who enjoyed Ellie Quicke's debut, Murder at the Altar, will welcome the appealing middle-aged sleuth's second, even stronger outing. Widowed Ellie is just starting to recover from the recent death of her beloved if domineering husband, Frank. Returning to her village after a stay at her daughter's in London, she learns that poison-pen letters pointing to scandal at St. Thomas' Rectory have led to the reassignment of her dear friend, the Reverend Gilbert Adams, and the emotional breakdown of the fey Nora, the church organist. Ellie agrees to try to find out who's behind the letters. One evening, Ellie investigates a light in the church and witnesses a "suicide" that she alone considers to be murder. Dismissed by the local police, Ellie puts her own life at risk to seek the truth. Our smart and determined heroine must also deal with her late husband's imperious aunt Drusilla; her spoiled, self-centered daughter, Diana; and a new man in her life, the suspiciously smooth Roy. Minor characters introduced in the first book take on new depth. Readers will cheer as Ellie takes charge after a lifetime of deferring to the wishes and wants of others. Anglophiles will relish the loving descriptions of those parts of London that make the great metropolis seem like a quaint village."<br><br>"Veronica Heley brings us loveable widow Ellie Quicke in...what one can only hope will be a long series...Her keen observations and insights into her characters create a rich atmosphere of the social life in an English town...With sparkling wit and humor...Heley provides all one needs for a satisfying read, except perhaps a cozy chair, a cup of tea, and some biscuits."<br>
