The third Ellie Kent mystery is available in ebook and paperback editions
The cold, dark winter is finally ending, and Ellie and Graham Kent have gone to celebrate a belated honeymoon in Paris, but news from Little Beecham casts a shadow over their holiday. Convicted murderer Corinna Matthews has been released from prison and turns up in Little Beecham, asking for Mrs. Kent. As Ellie soon discovers, it was Louise Kent, Graham’s late wife, Corinna wanted to see, but she steps in to help. In the Life Ever After finds her not only coping with villagers who still want “an eye for an eye,” but also seeking answers to the baffling questions that surround what really happened on the night Corinna murdered her brother Pindar and why.
“In the Life Ever After offers the perfect mix of engaging characters and a cunning plot. Readers are in for a treat!” — Candace Robb, bestselling author of the Owen Archer mysteries
