About this ebook
Eighty-one-year-old Elsie Fitzpatrick lives a quiet life in the suburbs. Aside from being a curmudgeon who minds everyone else’s business, few would suspect she harbours a secret she’s worked hard to bury.
Because when it comes to murder, no one ever suspects little girls or old ladies. And Elsie Mabel Fitzpatrick – once a little girl and now an old lady – has a strange history of people in her life coming to a foul end.
When an elderly neighbour is found dead, no one suspects a thing – until they uncover Elsie's true identity: Mad Mabel, the youngest Australian in history to be convicted of murder, over sixty years ago.
The police are asking questions. The media is circling.
Has the past finally caught up with Mad Mabel?
Or is it time for her to finally set the record straight?Praise for Sally Hepworth
