No Flowers Sent

A celebrated flower-show judge drops dead after a single bite of honey cake, and the Hampshire village where everyone keeps secrets suddenly has one too many. Philippa Roberts, a sharp London librarian and the dead woman's goddaughter, refuses to accept the convenient verdict of heart failure — not when she can smell bitter almonds on the victim's lips. As she peels back layers of blackmail, old grudges, and buried scandals, Philippa discovers that the prettiest gardens hide the darkest roots, and the killer may already be preparing to strike again.
