Murder in Style

Amateur sleuth Ellie Quick investigates a family with secrets to hide in this entertaining cozy mystery.

When Poppy Cordover is found dead at the bottom of the office stairs at the Magpie boutique, which she co-owned with her twin sister Juno, the twins' father asks Ellie Quicke to investigate. Ellie's enquiries are about to uncover a hornet's nest of greed, malice and tragic secrets.

Ellie Quicke finds you can choose your friends but not your family.

Poppy's wealthy father hadn't liked the look of the men whom his twin daughters intended to marry, and had set them up in the Magpie fashion boutique to ensure they would be able to support themselves, at the same time ensuring that the girls made a will in one another's favour.

The business prospered and expanded until, many years later, skeletons start to come out of the closet. Bodies too. And Ellie's enquiries uncover a hornet's nest of greed and malice combined with tragic secrets.
