Quaker Silence by Irene Allen - Debut detective Elizabeth Elliott, 66-year-old Clerk of Meeting for a Boston church, embodies a number of Quaker qualities that aid her in discovering the killer of a wealthy but troubled Friend. Reluctantly pressured into clearing the name of a homeless man accused of the crime, Elliott persists in questioning suspects until she solves the case. An interesting approach to a murder mystery, plus learned about the Quaker religion. I'm looking forward to reading others by this author.
