Murder lies beneath the charm of the Lake District
The spring bank holiday should mark an idyllic first year for florist Persimmon 'Simmy' Brown's shop in the Lake District town of Windermere. But there's a funeral to prepare for and the long weekend takes a further deadly turn.
There's word of a series of sinister dognappings in nearby Troutbeck and whilst walking up Wansfell Pike, Simmy and her father, Russell, stumble upon a dead dog. Unnerved by this and a second suspicious encounter, Simmy reluctantly finds herself caught up in a murder investigation after a body is found on a farm. And when Russell receives an anonymous death threat, Simmy has no choice but to do all she can to find the killer . . .
