The Cipher Garden (Lake District Mysteries)


The Cipher Garden (Lake District Mysteries) by Poisoned Pen Press

List Price: $6.99

Warren Howe is surprised by a hooded visitor while working in a garden in Old Sawrey, a lovely village in England’s Lake District. Soon it is Warren who is dead—murdered with his own scythe. The police identify several suspects, but lack the evidence to make an arrest.

Years later, an anonymous tip sparks the interest of DCI Hannah Scarlett, who heads the local Cold Case Review Team. Warren’s wife Tina is accused of killing her husband, although she had an alibi. Hannah’s sergeant, Nick Lowther, involved in the original investigation, seems disturbed by her determination to look again at the old crime. And Daniel Kind, the historian, wants to uncover the secret of the strange garden at his own cottage. Enlisting the help of Warren’s former business partner, garden designer Peter Flint, he is drawn into the mystery of the murder.

Daniel and Hannah find old sins cast long shadows as they search for the truth. Then there is another horrifying death. Now Daniel and Hannah must piece together the clues that lead to a shocking revelation. But by the time the puzzle is solved, Hannah’s life has changed forever.

Aunt Agnes has picked a rutabaga in Farmville, which is great news. Last you heard she was bedridden and couldn’t remember your name. But she can’t plant next year’s crop alone; she needs you and 30 of your friends to do that for her. Aunt Agnes remembers when farming used to involve an hour’s worth of calamine lotion to stop the stinging, but via Facebook, she can bake a pie and never touch any of the appliances that confuse her so. Welcome to the next generation of social gaming — it’s been here for a while, in a crude, borderline perverse manner via status updates and constant nagging. Now is the golden age, though. Now, your hoarding simulators are everywhere you want to be.

sustainable garden: ...both scythes now..

by Rob

Scythes frequently beat strimmers in speed of cutting competitions and can cut long grass and stems easily. They are ideal for managing meadows and nettle growth in open areas. They are much less likely to injure wildlife than either of their powered competitors. They use no fossil fuels. Modern Austrian scythes are so lightweight and considered so safe that they even manufacture them for children.
