When a chilling discovery is made in one of the manor's greenhouses,
the Frog End villagers rely on the Colonel to reluctantly solve another
baffling mystery.
Following the untimely death of her mother, Ursula Swynford, Ruth Harvey
has taken over the manor in Frog End, where she runs a successful
plant-selling business and provides gardening therapy for an increasing
number of her husband Dr Tom Harvey's troubled patients: embittered
Lawrence Deacon, lonely Joyce Reed, widowed Tanya Carberry and
wheelchair-bound Johnny Turner, the young victim of a horrific motorbike
crash.
Gardening at the manor quickly becomes a much-needed lifeline for the
group, and all seems to be going well - until the major stumbles across
a body among the tomato plants in one of the greenhouses. Once again,
the manor is the scene of a brutal murder - and, once again, the Colonel
reluctantly finds himself drawn into solving the mystery.
