Ellen Walsh has done something very, very bad. If only she knew what it was . . . Teacher, mother, wife, and all-around good citizen Ellen is juggling non-stop commitments, from raising a teen and two toddlers to job-hunting, to finally renovating her dream home, the Meadowhouse. Amidst the chaos, an ominous note arrives in the mail declaring:SOONER OR LATER EVERYONE SITS DOWN TO A BANQUET OF CONSEQUENCES. Why would someone send her this note? Ellen has no clue. She's no angel - a white lie here and there, an occasional sharp tongue - but nothing to incur the wrath of an anonymous enemy. Everyone around Ellen - her husband, her teenage daughter, her sister, her best friend, her neighbours - can guess why, though. They all know from bitter experience that while Ellen's intentions are always good, this ultimately counts for very little when you've (unintentionally?) blown up someone's life. Could the five bad deeds that come to haunt Ellen explain why things have gone so horribly wrong?As she races to discover who's set on destroying her life, Ellen receives more anonymous messages, each one more threatening than the last . . . and each hitting closer and closer to home and everything she cherishes.Praise for Five Bad Deeds: 'A dark, addictive, suburban nightmare.
