When her daughter’s life is at stake, there’s no one quite like our R.E.D. heroine!
Essentially-English, almost-certainly quirky, and definitely a little crazy, come and meet our Norfolk-based R.E.D. (Retired Extremely Daisy) heroine, and find out why she’s such a hit with readers of all ages.
“One of the best cozy mysteries I’ve ever read!”
“A real breath of fresh literary air!”
This is book 3 -
Following an unexpected lead Celia might have been sold by traffickers to someone in Africa three years ago, Daisy, Aidan and Sarah head for Uganda. But they’ve only been in the country a few minutes when a mysterious dying man thrusts a note into Daisy’s hand. As he gasps his last breath, he begs her not to involve the police. She realises that now there isn’t just one, but two mysteries to be solved!
The extra mystery deepens as three different people confess to a murder that took place many years ago. But there’s a silver lining to solving a case the local police closed in the nineteen-sixties, because it unearths an overgrown path that just might lead them to Celia.
However, where Daisy is concerned, it’s never easy. Mortal danger lies around every unfamiliar corner, but it doesn’t stop her doing what must be done for her family... even if it results in a hard-to-explain international incident!

The RTG mission in life is simple... to not be like everyone else!
‘Going Green’ has taken on a new meaning, in the book world at least. Whilst we applaud the original meaning (ebooks are a perfect way to promote that) we also try to present a different angle to it.
The tendency these days is that if you don’t look and read like everyone else, you don’t sell books. Maybe there’s some truth in that, but we simply don’t do it. The RTG books have been described as a ‘breath of fresh literary air’, and, by those discovering us for the first time, ‘unexpectedly good’. We know many readers prefer the same-old same old, and that’s fine.
It’s just not what you get from the RTG stable.
Those who know about such things said it would take five years to become a proficient author... I scoffed at that. They were wise. It took six. It’s one reason why even today we remodel existing books, and will always do so. Right from the early years the stories were always good, but were put into words less well than they could have been!
These days we have several series and a few standalones, the hit Daisy series most popular amongst them. In everything we do, the same provisos apply –
Never the same book twice.
If we can’t think up a good story, it doesn’t get written.
The RTG brand is about exciting and twisty plots, a fast pace which doesn’t waste words, and endearing (sometimes slightly crazy) characters. We can never please everyone, but it works for us, and, it seems, for those who appreciate our work.
Enjoy! Richard, Ann and the RTG crew
