About this audiobook
A Bev Morriss crime novel
If flowers are the language of love, what does it mean when a retired, elderly doctor is found dead with a bunch of daffodils callously thrust down her throat?
Murder squad detectives believe Sophia Carrington is the latest victim of a gang of teenagers who have been preying on the old and vulnerable.
But Detective Sergeant Bev Morriss reads the message differently. .
Squaring up against a vindictive new boss and out of line with most of her colleagues, Bev is convinced the bizarre bouquet carries a far more personal message.
Just how personal, she has no idea – until the killing gets closer to home.
