Title: The Deathly Visit

Quote: "I'm not surprised he has been attacked."
Jimmy was annoying. But nobody else in Helen's new neighborhood was a saint either. When Jimmy collapses on Helen's doorstep, bleeding from a knife wound, everyone's secrets start popping out. The bigamist didn't stab Jimmy. The embezzler didn't. The cheating wife didn't. The police officer who's drinking her way through a messy divorce isn't as much help as she might be. Helen, "sixty-six years young," may have to solve the case all by herself.
This relatively cozy mystery--only one successful murder--has several memorable elements, including British cuisine and sober senior citizens whose quarrel gets physical as fast as the drunken yuppies disputing about a woman's tarnished honor. It's a full-length novel, not a short digital "prequel." More adventures lie ahead of Helen and her friends.
