Poison Ivy: A Case of the Shaking Martini

Stella Kinsella

4.9/5 (9620 ratings)

Description:Forty-year-old Ivy is representative of an unofficial emerging class of Australian women – indelibly single, highly educated and unlikely to breed.Living alone has never been a problem for Ivy but when her neighbour and unlikely best friend, the formidable 83-year-old, Audrey Gillespie, is rehoused at the local retirement village for indefinite respite, Ivy is surprised at her burgeoning loyalty and attachment.Taking care of Audrey’s neurotic Dalmatian adds a curiously satisfying responsibility to Ivy’s world, along with frequent visits to Audrey’s new residence. However, life gets complicated when a female staff member at Meadowville is violently murdered by an unknown assailant. Coerced into taking on a volunteer role as the social director until a replacement is found, Ivy finds the company of a generation of battlers and survivors unexpectedly stimulating, so when a sprightly resident, Betty Donaldson, expires one night, Ivy connects the dotty anecdotes of the residents to reveal something is rotten inside the walls of Meadowville.The arrest of a homeless teenager and the sudden departure of a young staffer convince the local plods they have an open and shut case. But Ivy is unconvinced and puts her redundant surveillance career into gear to unravel a series of clues the police have failed to track.As ANZAC day approaches, Ivy’s suspicions about some dubious and curious men are confirmed. Her investigations glean the awful truth about forced adoptions amid the war era and she manages to upset the very unofficial secrets act held together by Meadowville inmates and how they relate to the recent deaths.Poison Ivy is a history-mystery with a contemporary spin it is a classic whodunit with comic overtones, wry social observations and a strong sense of suburban geography.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
