Synopsis

When murder rocks her peaceful retirement, one reluctant sleuth must clear her name or be next on the menu…

When Georgina Drake trades London for the tranquil Norfolk countryside, she has simple plans: master pilates, rent out her converted barn to holidaymakers, and slowly heal from a terrible loss. But when she discovers the body of her latest guest – arrogant Cambridge professor Roland Garnett – everything changes.

With the police eyeing Georgina as a suspect and the poisoned curry that killed Garnett somehow linked to her friend’s farm shop, she has no choice but to investigate for herself. Alongside her unlikely team – aristocratic garden enthusiast Sybbie, and no-nonsense friends Francesca and Jodie – can Georgina untangle a web of deadly secrets and poisonous plants, and solve the mystery before her sleuthing puts her next in the killer’s sights…?

The perfect treat for fans of Faith Martin, Midsomer Murders, and anyone who believes the most dangerous sleuths come armed with nothing but sharp wits and a good pair of gardening shears.

A propos du livre

À propos de l?auteur

Kate's written for as long as she can remember; it started with stories about ponies and dogs, moved into ghosts and history, and then into local history and romance. She's won three Romantic Novelists' Association awards for her romantic fiction - and is thoroughly enjoying her new life of crime! She lives in Norwich with her husband, two grown-up children, two spaniels and too many books to count. When she's not writing or researching, she'll be out at a gig or the theatre, at ballet class, doing cross-stitch, taking photographs of the sunrise while persuading the spaniels to stay still for one second, fossicking around on a beach or in archives, or exploring ancient buildings. She loves learning new things, which is why you'll always discover something different in a Kate Hardy book. Oh - and, like her heroine Georgina Drake, Kate's deaf but doesn't let it hold her back in any way.
