Status Updates From Quick and the Dead (Alex Qu...

Alex is a woman after my own heart - "DO it Alex, I told myself. Just do it. But I couldn't bring myself to get out of bed and go jogging. 'I'll work hard all day and go this evening,' I said out loud. 'I absolutely will.' I turned over and went back to sleep."

With two mysteries to solve, Alex Quick remains on her toes and is trying to piece things together in whatever manner possible. The longer her friend and colleague, Helena, remains missing, the worse the possibilities. However, there seems to be some potential in narrowing down Amy Morrison's killer, though it all relates to a family heirloom and a number of hunches.

As Alex continues her search to get to the bottom of the Amy Morrison murder, she is also looking to locate Helena. How can someone who is innocent be gone for so long? The more Alex learns, the more confusion ensues. However, there is much to learn about both Amy and Helena that could shed light on this murder and the subsequent disappearance.

As Alex begins her sleuth work, the mysteries behind the body in Helena's home become somewhat better understood. Known to both Alex and Helena, but despised by many more, Amy Morrison has a queue of people who would love to see her dead, both within and outside the art world...leaving things as clear as mud while Helena remains MIA.

Alex Quick has spent the last few years dusting herself off after leaving life as a DI. A cheating husband, a horrid miscarriage, and a need to hit the rest button all lead to her significant decision. When she turns to life as an author, she connects with Helena Drummond, with whom she begins life as a literary partner. When Helena does not show for an important meeting, things begin to spiral out of control...
