The Coniston Case
Tope RebeccaValentine’s Day is fast approaching and Persimmon ‘Simmy’
Brown’s flower shop near Lake Windermere is doing good business. But
when Simmy receives a string of anonymous delivery orders, each one
causing their recipient great distress, she begins to suspect that the
messages they contain mask a sinister intent. When one of the recipients
disappears, it would seem that her worst fears have been confirmed.
As
if that isn’t enough, Simmy’s friend Kathy turns up, on the trail of
her wayward daughter Joanna, who she fears has grown unhealthily close
to one of her university tutors. When Kathy attempts to reason with her
daughter she finds that Joanna’s older lover may be even more menacing
than she had imagined. With both Kathy and Joanna in peril, Simmy and
her friends find themselves caught up in a web of deception, blackmail
and murder. It seems that Simmy Brown faces her most puzzling, and
perhaps her most dangerous, case yet.
