It's a bond of love and guilt…and a desire for vengeance that cuts clear to the bone.So Assistant DA Cecily Minos waits, eager to see the guy in her courtroom. When Amelia meets a man who has the tattoo the girls remember seeing that day, they think they've finally caught a break. But the police refuse to reopen the case, and it's up to Cecily and Amelia to pursue their suspect.Their investigation soon uncovers secrets best left buried. But the law is slow, and they've waited long enough for revenge…71,000 words

    When a rash of poisoned pen letters envelops their sleepy English village, Beryl and Edwina, the delightfully mismatched friends and sleuths-of-a-certain-age, step up to stamp out the evil-minded epistles in Jessica Ellicott’s sixth historical mystery set in the wake of WWI. 
     
    What began for two dear if very different friends—an American adventuress and a prim and proper Brit—as a creative response to the lean times following the Great War has evolved into a respectable private enquiry business. So much so that  
    Constable Gibbs calls upon Beryl and Edwina to solve a curious campaign of character assassination. 
     
    A series of anonymous accusations sent via post have set friend against friend and neighbor against neighbor. In her new position as magistrate, Edwina has already had to settle one dispute that led to fisticuffs. Even Beryl has received a poison  
    pen letter, and while she finds its message preposterous and laughable, others are taking the missives to heart. Their headstrong housekeeper Beddoes is ready to resign and one villager has attempted to take her own life. 
     
    The disruption of the peace goes far beyond malicious mischief when another villager is murdered. Now it’s up to the intrepid sleuths to read between the lines and narrow down the suspects to identify the lethal letter writer and ensure that justice is delivered …

    FATE – Eventually, Everything Connects 
    BOOK 2 of 3 in the DEMON GORGE TRILOGY (Sequel to Room of Death) 
    “Oh, my God, I remember that trial now. She was the girl convicted of killing her infant cousin so that she could inherit his property, of which she was the next heir. Did your father know these facts before he agreed to take her on as a servant here at your place?” 
    “Yes, he did,” she said with a faint voice. 
    “Oh, my goodness. That trial was in all the papers. I can’t understand how your father could endure the presence of such a mad killer under the same roof as you. I don’t know how he could even subject you to such danger. No wonder you never smile.” 
    “Oh, you have it wrong. My father believes that though she was convicted of the crime, she was not guilty,” said the young woman in a faint voice. 
    “You say this, Aurora, that your father believes this. From everything I read in the papers, the evidence that proved her guilt was overwhelming. There wasn’t a loophole in the trial whatsoever.” 
    “That’s so true. But you sit there agreeing to have Jack Dannells provide private service for my father and then turn around and find that poor girl who was only fourteen years old guilty of a crime which she could not think up much less plan. We know that Elise Austin is no felon,” said Aurora. 
    “I don’t know, Aurora. You and your father seem to have a boundless charity to the criminals.”
