2025: A body is found in a graveyard. But this body is a fresh one….
The Dacre Dilemma
What you need to know before your trail
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.

The author note says
Dacre is a real village but the characters and properties in this story are the product of my imagination. Some tinkering with the layout has been necessary for the purposes of the plot. However, there really are bears in the churchyard, along with Willie Whitelaw.
