Essentially-English, almost-certainly quirky, and definitely a little crazy, come and meet our feisty R.E.D. (Retired Extremely Daisy) heroine, and find out why she’s such a hit with readers! “One of the best cozy mysteries I’ve ever read!” “A real breath of fresh literary air!” It’s the Great Wiltingham End of Spring Fayre. Everyone is there, including the local landowners Lord and Lady Falconbridge-Stuart. The women are encouraged to dress as flowers, the men as vegetables (no gender-related pun intended!) It is a two-hundred year old festival, after all. Daisy and Aidan are there too, and despite Daisy being virtually ordered to attend as she already has the name of a flower, she starts to enjoy the day. Until things turn darker, that is. Someone is murdered, and with many of those attending disguised by their costumes, it’s not easy to know who is even there to be a suspect. Then someone makes everything easier, by confessing to the crime. It’s the last person anyone expects. At first Daisy is quite prepared to accept the confession, given who it is, but the others persuade her things maybe aren’t as cut-and-dried as they first appear. The Henderson Detective Agency delve a little deeper, and soon discover the dark and hidden past of a village resident, taking them back over forty years as they follow a rocky road that becomes ever more dangerous with each twist and turn.

The story behind Banjo Paterson's iconic Australian song. 'Once a jolly swagman camped by a Billabong Under the shade of a Coolibah tree And he sang as he watched and waited till his Billy boiled You'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me...' In 1894, twelve-year-old Matilda flees the city slums to find her unknown father and his farm. But drought grips the land, and the shearers are on strike. Her father has turned swaggie and he's wanted by the troopers. In front of his terrified daughter, he makes a stand against them, defiant to the last. 'You'll never catch me alive, said he...' Set against a backdrop of bushfire, flood, war and jubilation, this is the story of one girl's journey towards independence. It is also the story of others who had no vote and very little but their dreams. Drawing on the well-known poem by A.B. Paterson and from events rooted in actual history, this is the untold story behind Australia's early years as an emerging nation. PRAISE 'Jackie French has a passion for history, and an enviable ability to weave the fascinating minutiae of everyday life into a good story.' -- Magpies Magazine
