Dust On A Bowl Of Roses [Paperback]

An old-fashioned murder mystery with Hestercombe, a beautiful - and real - English garden as backdrop. The central character is a newly widowed middle-aged woman who has spent her married life traveling the world with her diplomat husband and now returns to an England that has changed much in her absence. As she ponders her future, she gets pulled into the vagaries of village life, its traditions, its characters and the mayhem that ensues with the discovery of a body in the garden.
