About this listen

Heavily pregnant yet still running her flower shop in Keswick, Simmy Brown agrees to deliver an unusual bouquet to remote Eskdale. There she encounters three generations of women—and the next day, one of them is brutally murdered. Drawn into the mystery, Simmy and her friends soon find themselves navigating eccentric artists, fractured families, and secrets buried deep in the Lakes.

As her new assistant Evie proves unexpectedly determined to sleuth, and tangled motives begin to surface, Simmy realises the truth is darker—and closer—than anyone imagined. And time is running out, in more ways than one.

"As Rebecca Tope tells it, every rural idyll is blighted by underlying menace. Such is her writing skill, I'm inclined to believe her." (Daily Mail)
