Blood is thicker than water. And charity begins at home. So they say. Melanie Tully is dead - very. The arsenic that left her writhing in agony was in the lunch her stepsister had heated up for her - so now Alice is the prime suspect. In fact, it's a pretty clear-cut case. Patsy Kelly doesn't think so. Alice has got a lot going for her - she had no real motive for mudering her sister. Just what was going on in the Tully house? And if it wasn't Alice - who was it?And who will they be after next.?
