2008-02-28 The body with no identity

Ellie Quicke stumbles on a headless corpse when tracking down some greenery to decorate the church. The discovery leads her eventually into danger. Mrs Dawes, her flower arranging friend is attacked in her own home - can it be linked to the body as her garden backs on to that of the house where it was partially buried? This is a tangled web not helped by the fact that identification of the body is fraught with difficulty. A closely plotted and intriguing puzzle which Ellie tries to solve whilst dealing with her importunate friends and family, including stopping her daughter Diana selling houses without their owner's permission and helping her friend Thomas the vicar with a serious personal crisis.
