Then Willow herself becomes a target for the same murderous hatred that surrounded Gloria . . . ‘This sparkling whodunnit effectively blends mystery, sophistication, and a dash of romantic melodrama’ Publishers Weekly (Bloody Roses) ‘Well plotted – and immense fun to read’ The Times (Poison Flowers)
