There Was An Old Woman by Hallie Ephron

 "Superb suspense and unforgettable characters make this an absolute
must-read. I devoured this in one ravenous gulp!"--Tess Gerritsen, New York
Times bestselling author 

A young woman becomes entangled in a
terrifying web of deception and madness involving an elderly neighbor in this
riveting domestic noir by Edgar-nominated author Hallie Ephron 

When Evie Ferrante's mother is hospitalized,
she arrives at the older woman's house to find it in utter chaos and filled to
the brim. Has her mother become a hoarder? Sorting through her belongings, Evie
discovers objects that don't quite belong there--expensive liquor in the garage,
pricier than her mother's usual brand, and a new flat-screen TV on the
wall--that raise questions. Where did her mother get the money for such lavish
purchases? 

Evie renews a friendship with Mina, an
elderly neighbor who might know more about her mother's recent activities, but
Mina has her own set of problems. As Evie investigates her mother's actions and
digs into the events of the past few months, a dark, sinister story of
deception and madness begins to unfold.
