The Dacre Dilemma

Lake District Mysteries 15

Rebecca Tope
As wedding season gets underway Windermere florist Simmy Brown has her hands full caring for her two-year-old and preparing bouquets – one of which she needs to deliver to a conservationist living in a camper van near Dacre castle. Going there gives Simmy a chance to enjoy the spring sunshine but her respite is cut short when she discovers the body of a young man and a tangle of secrets.

Product information
Full publisher description
Simmy Brown is four months pregnant, working partly from home, partly from her Windermere florist shop and very much feeling her age when her husband, Christopher, asks her to deliver flowers to Eleanor Padgett. As an
expert in antique textiles, Eleanor has been a considerable help to him at his auction house.

The visit out to the charming Lake District village of Dacre is squeezed into Simmy's endless to-do list. It is a moment of calm to appreciate the approach of spring and the interesting churchyard, but this is shattered
when she discovers the body of a young man among the graves. It is not long before Simmy once again finds herself in a complex and puzzling investigation, led by DI Moxon and aided by her friends Ben and Bonnie.
