ABOUT THE 15-STRONG SERIES
DI Joe Rafferty, working-class lapsed Catholic, is cursed by coming from a family who think-if he must be a copper-he might at least have the decency to be a bent one. When you add the educated, intellectual and moralistic DS Dafyd Llewellyn to the brew, the result is murder with plenty of laughs for the reader and plenty of angst for Rafferty.

Synopsis

When beautiful Barbara Longman is found dead in a meadow, uprooted wild flowers strewn about her and, in her hand, a single marigold, Inspector Joe Rafferty at first believes the murder may be the work of the serial killer over the county border in Suffolk.

But then he meets the victim’s family – and, after liaising with the Suffolk CID, he rapidly comes to believe that the killing is the work of a copycat… one much closer to home, someone among the descendants of the long-dead wealthy family patriarch, Maximillian Shore.

Everyone, it seems, had a motive: Henry the grieving widower; the victim’s brother-in-law, Charles Shore, the ruthless tycoon; Henry’s first wife, the Bohemian Anne, who has lost the custody of Maxie, her teenage son, to the saintly Barbara.

Even the long-dead patriarch, Maximillian Shore, seems, to Rafferty, to have some involvement in the murder, though how, or why, Rafferty doesn’t understand until he finally grasps the truth behind the reasons for the killing. A truth sad and dreadful and which had been evident from the start, if only he had had the eyes to see.

Geraldine Evans wants her readers to have as much fun reading her novels as she has writing them. So, in addition to the main, crime plot, she generally has a humorous sub-plot, which frequently has Joe Rafferty involved in family-created mayhem of the career-killing sort.
