'A twisty page-turning triumph, packed with wit, warmth, nuance and mystery' Jane Harper NO ONE EVER SUSPECTS OLD LADIES OF MURDER-
Eighty-one-year-old Elsie Fitzpatrick lives a quiet life in the suburbs. Few would guess that Elsie, aside from being a curmudgeon who minds everyone else's business, harbours a secret she's worked hard to bury.
Because when it comes to murder, no one ever suspects little girls or old ladies. And Elsie Mabel Fitzpatrick - once a little girl and now an old lady - has a strange history of people in her life coming to a foul end.
When an elderly neighbour is found dead, no one suspects a thing - until they uncover Elsie's true identity: Mad Mabel, the youngest person in history to be convicted of murder, more than sixty years ago.
The police are asking questions. The media is circling. Has the past finally caught up with Mad Mabel? Or is it time for her to set the record straight? Perfect for fans of My Friends by Fredrik Backman, The Wedding People by Alison Espach and The Correspondent by Virginia Evans. WHAT READERS ARE SAYING ABOUT MAD MABEL:
