Dead Flowers cover

She doesn't trust the police. She used to be one of them.

Hardened by ten years on the murder squad, DNA analyst Doctor Sian Love has seen it all. So when she finds human remains in the basement of her new home, she knows the drill.

Except this time it's different. This time, it's personal...

A page-turning cold case investigation, Dead Flowers is an intriguing, multi-layered story perfect for fans of Kate Atkinson's Case Histories and British crime dramas like Line of Duty and Unforgotten.

Old murders, family secrets and long-told lies are the ingredients of this splendid, gripping crime debut -- William Ryan
Tension builds slowly but surely in this dark gripper -- Jon Wise * Sunday Sport *
I thoroughly enjoyed this story and the little nostalgic glimpses back in time and how the characters interact with their own hopes and desires is brilliantly told -- Peter Donnelly * The Reading Desk *
Highly recommended -- Gillian S * Netgalley *
I'm halfway through Dead Flowers and absolutely loving it. Great characters and I'm particularly enjoying the 1970s storyline. And Elvis the dog is great! -- Harriet Tyce, author of Blood Orange
