Maggie Byrnes is married now, with a young son, and living in a quiet Melbourne suburb. But violent death dogs her footsteps even in apparently tranquil Middleburn. It's perhaps not such a surprise when a widely disliked local bigwig (who also happens to be Maggie's landlord) is shot, but Maggie suspects that someone is also trying to poison the infant who is his heir, and turns sleuth once more to uncover the culprits. This is June Wright's second novel, which she originally planned to call Who Would Murder a Baby? Her publishers drew the line at that, but under any title it's a worthy sequel to Murder in the Telephone Exchange.
Includes a new introduction by Lucy Sussex plus her fascinating 1996 interview with June Wright
