Coming Up Roses

Více o knize

There's a fine line between 'eccentric' and 'a danger to oneself and others,' especially when a body is discovered in Rose's freezer. DI Adams suspects foul play, but the evidence points to Rose being more forgetful than malicious. Meanwhile, Alice and the Toot Hansell Women's Institute refuse to believe that Rose could be involved in anything sinister. Determined to protect her from jail or a nursing home, they decide to take matters into their own hands, even if it means bending the rules of "helping the police." As they delve into Rose's tangled relationships, including squabbling exes and mysterious relatives linked to fringe scientific circles, Alice and her friends race against time to exonerate her. Complicating matters are pesky journalists on the hunt for dragons and some eccentric dragons who seem intent on turning the tables. With spring in Toot Hansell looking anything but rosy, this cozy mystery blends humor, friendship, and a touch of the fantastical. Perfect for fans of British mysteries that are gentle and filled with cake, tea, and, of course, dragons. This is the sixth installment in a series that promises delightful escapades. Note: Expect no graphic violence, sex, or strong language, but be prepared for plenty of cake and tea!
