Persimmon 'Simmy' Brown's florist shop in Windermere is struggling for money, so a contract to provide floral displays for a hotel in Hawkshead couldn't have arrived at a better moment. However, Simmy's association with the hotel soon turns sinister when she finds a body in the lake.

Now in paperback, this is another instalment in the cosy crime series set in the Lake District, featuring florist and sleuth Persimmon 'Simmy' Brown.
