Coming up Roses - A Cozy Mystery (With Dragons)

There's a fine line between 'eccentric' and 'a danger to oneself and others'.And that line may just lie with the body in the freezer. That's certainly what DI Adams is thinking when said body turns up in Rose's freezer. Rose might not look like an octogenarian black widow, but it's the inspector's job to follow the evidence, no matter how distasteful that might be. Alice and the ladies of the Toot Hansell Women's Institute, however, couldn't disagree more. They don't believe for a moment that Rose is responsible for anything worse than a little forgetfulness, and they're certainly not going to let her be hauled off to jail or an old folk's home for a crime she didn't commit. They're taking matters into their own hands, and if certain detective inspectors have rather limiting beliefs regarding what constitutes helping the police with their investigations, well, they shall just have to deal with it. Between Rose's squabbling exes, mysterious relatives, and shadowy connections to the more fringe elements of the scientific community, Alice and the W.I. are in a desperate race to clear Rose's name - if they can - before DI Adams has no choice but to arrest her. And hunting the real murderer would be a lot easier if they didn't also have a small problem involving lurking journalists hunting dragons, as well as certain eccentric dragons who seem determined to hunt them back … Nothing's looking too rosy in Toot Hansell this spring.
