Description
A heinous murder in a beautiful English garden makes for a "gripping... surprising" British crime procedural from the author of the Inspector Peach novels (Publishers Weekly).
Dennis Cooper leads an idyllic life as curator of the national historical site, Westbourne Park. What could be better than overseeing the spectacular flowering grounds, supervising its popular restaurant, and making sure the daily throngs of tourists leave happy? But when Gloucestershire's Superintendent John Lambert and Detective Sergeant Bert Hook visit the serene landmark, there's only one site they care to see: Dennis's dead body in a pond at the edge of the gardens.
The suspects are growing wild: Dennis's philandering wife and her lover; the restaurant's nerve-fried staff; a new young intern from Glasgow; and a shady gardener with a violent temper. It's clear someone held a grudge. Less clear is Dennis's own shady past. And Lambert and Hook are determined to dig it up.
