Rather than live with relatives until she marries, she  has decided to make her own living with her writing. Her series of  articles on country manor homes has proven to be a success, and she  travels to Occles Hall to research her latest piece. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhat she  finds is a household under the thumb of the ill-tempered and demanding  Lady Valeria. And the discovery of the body of a pregnant maid buried in  the winter garden does nothing to improve Lady Valeria's mood. A young  Welsh under-gardener is arrested for the crime but Daisy is sure of his  innocence. Wary of the air of secrecy that permeates Occles Hall, Daisy  convinces Alec Fletcher of Scotland Yard to investigate further - a  murder that is more complex and horrifying than either could have  imagined.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReview(s):\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e“A charming cozy featuring an intelligent, strong woman.
