DOWNLOAD EBOOKIt all begins with a rose bush, mysteriously uprooted in the middle of the night, revealing a horrific secret... If you’ve not met our R.E.D. (Retired Extremely Daisy) heroine yet, the first bundle is a great way to get to know her, and the hit series! Three full books for less than the price of two! Daisy moved to a village a few miles from Kings Lynn in Norfolk a year ago, after a very unfortunate incident in London made her decide village life was the best option. She’s adapted to country life quite well, although she rather irreverently refers to the village of Great Wiltingham as the ‘place people go to wilt’. She does have a wicked side, after all! “One of the best cozy mystery series I’ve ever read!” “A real breath of fresh literary air!” In the first book, after some strange goings-on and a murder in the village, Daisy and Aidan, together with a young police-woman called Sarah, whose curiosity gets the better of her, set about solving the mystery. It all begins with a rose bush, mysteriously uprooted in the middle of the night, revealing a horrific secret... In the second book, village life has reverted to as normal as it ever gets where Daisy is concerned. Then one morning everything changes, in a very tragic way. To begin with, Daisy believes someone from her past is responsible. Before she retired, she had a job very few people have, after all. Then a clue from a really unexpected source makes her wonder if it might be someone much closer to home. So once again she becomes the worm on the hook, much to Aidan and Sarah’s horror. For Daisy there’s no choice, because this time it’s just about as personal as it gets… In the third book, following a surprise lead their daughter might have been sold by traffickers to someone in Africa three years ago, Daisy, Aidan and Sarah head for Uganda. But they’ve only been in the country a few minutes when a mysterious dying man thrusts a note into Daisy’s hand. As he gasps his last breath, he begs her not to involve the police. She suddenly realises there isn’t just one, but two mysteries to be solved! The extra mystery deepens as three different people confess to a murder that took place many years ago. But there’s a silver lining to solving a case the local police closed in the nineteen-sixties, because it unearths an overgrown path that just might lead them to Celia. A path that could very well end in an international incident! Read all about Daisy, Sandie, and everything else we do, on the new rtgreen website. Enjoy!

DOWNLOAD EBOOKAn innocent rosebush, uprooted in the middle of the night, reveals a horrific secret. Determined to bring those responsible to justice, Daisy embarks on a dangerous trail that grows darker and darker with each unexpected turn. Essentially-English, almost-certainly quirky, and definitely a little crazy, come and meet our Norfolk-based R.E.D. (Retired Extremely Daisy) heroine, and find out why she’s such a hit with readers of all ages. “One of the best cozy mysteries I’ve ever read!” “A real breath of fresh literary air!” Retirement to a sleepy East-Anglian village doesn't go quite as Daisy hoped, after a seemingly- insignificant event triggers something very significant indeed. A mystery to solve is the last thing she expects to stumble across in a sleepy village a few miles from Kings Lynn in Norfolk. To her surprise she’s adapted to country life quite well, although she rather unkindly refers to the beautiful village of Great Wiltingham as the ‘place people go to wilt’. According to Daisy, nothing is ever quite what it seems. In her case, that’s the truest thing ever spoken. She’s nothing like a pensioner is supposed to be. It could be something to do with the career she had before retiring… or perhaps because she wishes she’d never had to leave it behind at all. For some strange reason, trouble seems to follow her around. It’s been a peaceful twelve months settling into village life, but that’s about to come to an abrupt end... ‘The Root of all Evil’ is the first book in the long-running Daisy Morrow series. Check out the entire series on the new rtgreen website. While you’re there, have a look at our 1920’s historical series too, ‘The Sandie Shaw Mysteries’.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKCome and meet our Norfolk-based R.E.D. (Retired Extremely Daisy) heroine, as she dives headlong into a spooky tale of witchcraft and dark, dangerous secrets! “One of the best cozy mystery series I’ve ever read!” “A real breath of fresh literary air!” Scraggy Bottom is the tiny Norfolk hamlet time forgot. It’s where Maisie’s sister Doris lives, with around fifty others. Nestled in a remote, wooded area, it found itself with a reputation because of the spooky and the unexplained things that seem to happen there. Some of it might be to do with the village’s resident white witch, Imelda, who uses her mystical powers to do good things. Sadly for her, one false move and all the good is wiped out in a single minute. In that respect at least, Scraggy Bottom is just the same as everywhere else on the planet. When Maisie returns from visiting her sister with a worried expression on her face, Daisy forces the truth out of her. Imelda is Doris’s neighbour, and she’s being persecuted because one of her spells took a drastic turn for the worst. Maisie doesn’t want to bother her friend, but Daisy begins to suspect there’s more to what’s going on than meets the eye. Or the crow’s foot. Or the jackdaw’s wing… Daisy and Aidan decide to ignore the rumours and brave an investigation, but soon after they arrive in the remote hamlet it starts to become clear there’s a bubbling cauldron of evil about to boil over. And no one is safe. Check out the entire Daisy series on the brand new rtgreen website. While you’re there, have a look at our 1920’s historical series too, ‘The Sandie Shaw Mysteries’.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKWhen an Earth-shattering secret has two legs, a big mouth, and a blinkered determination to get home by any means necessary, it’s up to Daisy and Aidan to stop it happening… by any means necessary! “One of the best cozy mystery series I’ve ever read!” Come and meet our feisty R.E.D. heroine, and find out why she’s such a hit with readers! From feeling like they were back in the eighteenth century, Daisy and Aidan are thrust very much into the twenty-first century. Answering a desperate call for help, they find themselves embroiled in a crazy chase across the county to stop a secret going public that must never hit the front pages. This time the puzzle is the whereabouts of a missing scarecrow, and the question of just how he intends getting ‘home’. Our story is different in another, but just as scary a way too. Our intrepid heroes are separated, and neither knows where the other is. For Aidan, an encounter with an old friend proves frighteningly enlightening, while Daisy discovers evidence he could well be in mortal danger, and there isn’t a lot of time to save his life… or the situation. Neither of them realise the secret they’re chasing is hardly the secret they thought it was. As an ever-increasing number of friends and enemies join the battle for the same pot of gold, the yellow brick road starts to look more like a four-lane highway, and the end of the rainbow seems to be ever further away. Who will be the first to make Emerald City in one piece? With the spoils just out of sight over the horizon, that’s anyone’s guess! ‘The Terrifying Tale of the Homesick Scarecrow’ is the fifth book in the hilarious Daisy series, and like the others, is not exactly what you might expect!
