Death By Hanging Basket - Daphne Neville

Super-sleuth-cum-busybody sexagenarian twin sisters Hetty and Lottie are thrilled by the number of summer events taking place in the Cornish seaside village of Pentrillick. The church's young vicar is getting married, the Crown and Anchor is sold and closed for renovation work, and green fingered residents are polishing their horticultural skills ready for the newly created 'Pentrillick in Bloom' competition. Inhabitants are optimistic; the collective mood is cheerful, and everything points to a summer to remember. However, the mood changes when the lifeless body of one of the tradesmen working on the pub's refurbishment is discovered by a newcomer to the village. Does this dampen the spirits of our two indomitable lady super-sleuths? Not one bit. A crime to solve is just something else to add to their to-do list. 'Death by Hanging Basket' is a light-hearted story and the sixth in the Pentrillick Mystery Series set on the south coast of West Cornwall.
