A Sliver of Doubt

A shock discovery threatens Ellie’s future at Melmerbsy Hall and sends her to London, seeking help from best friend Georgie.
But Georgie has problems of her own – defending a well-known West End theatre producer from what appears to be a cut-and-dried charge of murdering his secret lover.
For Ellie Blaine, though, mystery is never far away, and when she is approached to help find a troubled young woman who has gone missing she finds herself following a dark thread that runs from the capital’s decaying slum-land to the hallowed courtrooms of London’s Old Bailey.
Ellie Blaine is a traditional, Golden Age Cozy Mystery series, packed with intrigue, diabolical villains, endearing friends, humour, emotion, a little romance and a real sense of history in the fascinating years following the Great War.
