Murder at the Altar

Meet Ellie Quick – a widow, a passionate tea lover, and now a budding amateur detective.

In one of the green neighborhoods of London, everyone knows Ellie Quick from the charity shop. Recently widowed, she spends her days gazing out the... window. But one evening, Mrs. Dowes, who is not easily flustered, literally bursts into Ellie's home. There is a very good reason for that – a body in front of the church altar…
The police and the mother of the deceased are convinced that on the night of the murder Ellie saw much more than she admits. But the poor woman cannot understand what they are getting at. Fending off the overly intrusive attention of the pastor, who loves to take care of newly widowed women, she decides to protect her neighbor, who has been made the main suspect, from the detectives and find out the truth.
Only Ellie does not know that she should be careful. Someone is already watching her and setting a trap…
