Spring has brought many new beginnings into the world of florist Persimmon \'Simmy\' Brown.
She lives on a smallholding in rural Herefordshire, where she enjoys the silence and plants a lot of trees..
Ably assisted by her would-be detective friend Ben, can Simmy puzzle out this reckoning from the past and protect her family in time for the wedding bells to chime? About author(s): Rebecca Tope is the author of three bestselling crime series, set in the Cotswolds, Lake District and West Country.
Yet even with a young baby to consider Simmy cannot ignore her instinct to investigate, especially with the personal link to her soon-to-be husband.
But when a former acquaintance of Christopher\'s reminds him of a promise he made a decade previously, their lives soon take a sinister - and deadly - turn.
Not only has her baby arrived, but she and her fiancé Christopher have moved to the historic village of Hartsop in the Lake District - and they still intend to say their vows before the height of summer.
