The Botanist - The First Twist in the Tale Novel

Retired doctor Lilian Templeton has a dead body in her garden and there is nothing she can do to stop the gas men digging it up. DI Ronnie Twist and her sergeant, Luke Carter, are not fooled by Lilian-s apparent innocence, and a game of cat and mouse ensues as Lilian seeks to hide her murderous past and avoid detection.

What led Lilian to kill? How many murders has she committed? And will she get away with it?

A cosy crime novel with a twist, The Botanist takes the reader inside the mind of a surprisingly sympathetic murderer and along a rollercoaster journey as she attempts to avoid justice. The secrets of the past are revealed in parallel with the police investigation, culminating in an exciting finale and an unexpected final twist.

Set in the market town of Beverley, East Yorkshire, this is the first Twist in the Tale mystery.
