When the quiet, unassuming widower Sidney Middleton is found dead in his cottage from carbon monoxide poisoning, Sheila Malory is deeply disturbed. On recent meetings the old man had seemed in rude health and the official explanation that the ageing wood-burning stove was faulty just doesn't seem to add up. Then there's the fact that his son, David Middleton, had been keen in recent months to pack his father away to a nursing home. Sheila's suspicions that this was no accidental death just won't be quieted. Soon Sheila uncovers some rather shocking information about the late Sidney Middleton...information that paints him in a very different light and leads her to ask who was the real Sidney, and how many people might have borne him a grudge? A thoughtful and engaging novel about human weakness and power, The Silent Killer is the latest in the popular series featuring the charming amateur sleuth, Sheila Malory.
