AN UNPUTDOWNABLE COZY MYSTERY, PERFECT FOR FANS OF RICHARD OSMAN.

When school’s out, headteacher Catherine Leckie loves nothing more than pottering in her garden shed. This time, someone is there waiting . . .

They leave her body lying among the gardening tools. Strangled.

It’s up to Detective Markham to weed out the murderer from a long list of suspects. But the deeper he digs into Catherine’s secrets, the more dirt he finds.

Secret trysts and bitter grudges — the frosty ground of Beauclair Drive Allotments is a hotbed of intrigue.

When Markham’s prime suspect is found pushing up daisies — on the same allotments — he realizes no one is safe from this brutal killer.

Can Markham crack the case before more green-fingered victims die?

Perfect for fans of Faith Martin, Frances Lloyd, The Rev Richard Coles, Richard Osman and Sarah Yarwood-Lovett.
