Mad Mabel

You can change your name. But you can't change your past . . .Eighty-one-year-old Elsie Fitzpatrick lives a quiet life in the suburbs. Aside from being a curmudgeon who minds everyone else’s business, few would suspect she harbours a secret she’s worked hard to bury. Because when it comes to murder, no one ever suspects little girls or old ladies. And Elsie Mabel Fitzpatrick – once a little girl and now an old lady – has a strange history of people in her life coming to a foul end.

When an elderly neighbour is found dead, no one suspects a thing – until they uncover Elsie's true identity: Mad Mabel, the youngest Australian in history to be convicted of murder, over sixty years ago. The police are asking questions.
