Listening note
Elsie 'Mad Mabel' Fitzpatrick, 81, has lived on Kenny Lane for sixty years — long enough for her neighbours to start wondering about the deaths in her past. A twisty, darkly funny mystery about the two kinds of people nobody suspects: little girls and old ladies. A Macmillan Audio production from St. Martin's Press.
