Dead Quiet

East End Murders #8

by Anne Cassidy

Blood is thicker than water. And charity begins at home. So they say. Melanie Tully is dead - very. The arsenic that left her writhing in agony was in the lunch her stepsister had heated up for her - so now Alice is the prime suspect. In fact, it's a pretty clear-cut case. Patsy Kelly doesn't think so. Alice has got a lot going for her - she had no real motive for murdering her sister. Just what was going on in the Tully house? And if it wasn't Alice - who was it? And who will they be after next.?

Really good, although it was sad that after telling Joey that she wanted to concentrate on her relationship with Billy, Billy then dumped her for someone else! Nice!
* I liked the story, I totally didn't guess who the murderer was. I was actually beginning to think that it was Harry's wife because she saw him cheating on her with Melanie, but nope!
* At least Patsy got to see her dad before he moved abroad, and her mum and step-father seemed to be getting on a little better once her dad had left.
* Poor Alice though, her stepmother is forever going to hold it against her that the poison was left for her, and not her stepsister.

This was an okay book out of the series. It's hit or miss for me. I could've done without all of Patsy's relationship woes, all of which she brought on herself. But, for the last book in the series, I'm glad that she got a dream job and ended on a happy note.
