“One of the best cozy mysteries I’ve ever read!”
“A real breath of fresh literary air!”
It’s the Great Wiltingham End of Spring Fayre. Everyone is there, including the local landowners Lord and Lady Falconbridge-Stuart. The women are encouraged to dress as flowers, the men as vegetables (no gender-related pun intended!) It is a two-hundred year old festival, after all.
Daisy and Aidan are there too, and despite Daisy being virtually ordered to attend as she already has the name of a flower, she starts to enjoy the day.
Until things turn darker, that is. Someone is murdered, and with many of those attending disguised by their costumes, it’s not easy to know who is even there to be a suspect.
Then someone makes everything easier, by confessing to the crime. It’s the last person anyone expects. At first Daisy is quite prepared to accept the confession, given who it is, but the others persuade her things maybe aren’t as cut-and-dried as they first appear.
The Henderson Detective Agency delve a little deeper, and soon discover the dark and hidden past of a village resident, taking them back over forty years as they follow a rocky road that becomes ever more dangerous with each twist and turn.

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
