Death of a Merry Widow - Hardcover

Cambridge University don Maureen Helmont was found murdered. But Maureen seemed an unlikely sort to meet a violent end: Affectionately known as the "Merry Widow" by her academic colleagues, the attractive and charming woman was universally well liked. Why then was she smothered to death in her sleep?
It soon becomes apparent that Maureen kept many secrets. The university lecturer and authority on the Brontes was also the pseudonymous author of a series of explicit romantic novels, as well as of her own yet-to-be published amorous memoirs. As the police discover, between these dual lives the "Merry Widow" made at least one lethal enemy.
