Murder at the Willows

Meet Rina Martin, a retired actress with a taste for tea, gardening and crime solving.

She played a TV sleuth for years, but now she has to do it for real.

There's something strange about the scene . . . Famous artist Jean appears to have passed peacefully in her sleep as she rested against an old tree in the garden of her home, the Willows. Her legs are outstretched, hands tenderly clutching a small blue flower.

But upon closer inspection, things don't add up. Where is Jean's trusty walking stick? She can't move anywhere without it. Why did she choose to slumber on the ground when there is a comfortable lounge chair nearby? Where did that blue flower come from . . . not from her garden, that's for sure.

The clues soon point to murder. But dear Jean was beloved by the community, who would do such a thing . . . ? Her grandson is determined to uncover the truth and hires Rina to investigate.

The trail leads Rina to a series of shocking secrets, stretching back over twenty years. And a murderer who still has unfinished business . . . Can our favourite amateur sleuth catch this killer before it's too late?
