One of those books that as you read the last page you want to instantly read the next in the series.” Mystery Women Magazine“Classic murder mystery story with a twist at the end.” Oxford TimesTHE LOCATIONThe crime happens in an allotment shed in a small Oxfordshire hamlet. Allotments, or strips of land rented by individuals to grow fruit and vegetables (or flowers for flower shows), have always been popular. During the war years, they were a valuable source of food, and in modern times, their popularity hasn’t waned either, as the growing taste for organic fruit and veg, and ‘getting back to nature’ appeals to a wide range of people. Beekeepers find them very useful too. Waiting lists can be long, as they represent a perfect way to de-stress after a day in the city, and provide a peaceful haven for many people. But in the tiny hamlet of Aston Lea, set in fields of barley, and sheltered from the world and the roads by towering Hawthorne hedges, the allotments are a perfect, secret, quiet place to commit murder.THE DETECTIVESDI Hillary GreeneAn attractive woman in her forties, Hillary Greene is a police officer of many years’ experience, and came up through the ranks.
