Then an elderly lady who has waited thirty-four years for an answer accuses somebody of cheating, takes a paper cup of plain water, says two words — "He knew" — and is dead before the speeches are finished. The village would very much prefer this to be a weak heart. But a sharp-eyed old spinster among the flower tables has noticed the paper cup, and she does not believe in convenient hearts. Between a wartime supply ledger, a photograph with five people in it and a name nobody will say aloud, a convalescent home that was once a tenant farm, a twenty-one-year-old nurse's assistant who disappeared in 1917, and a girl who never left her father's land, the truth turns out to be less about roses than about the particular kind of silence respectable men mistake for decency. A Murder at the Flower Show is an original Golden Age-style mystery about village vanity, long memory, and an old woman who was never as harmless as she looked.ℹ️ FOR LISTENERSThis is an original Golden Age-style mystery presented as a respectful homage to classic detective fiction.

When a whole community agrees to call something respectable, who does that silence really protect? 🕵️📖 GET THE EBOOK — $3.99📌 Patreon — included with Writing Table & Archive Society, or one-time purchasehttps://www.patreon.com/posts/156573383🛒 Gumroad — EPUB + PDF includedhttps://nocturnaltalespod.gumroad.com/l/ebookvol2❤️ Buy Me a Coffee — EPUB + PDF includedhttps://buymeacoffee.com/nocturnaltales/e/532495❤️ SUPPORT & LISTENING OPTIONS📌 Patreon — ad-free, early access, bonus contenthttps://www.patreon.com/NocturnalTales📺 Rumble — free, supports us with ad revenuehttps://rumble.com/c/c-7820714❤️ Buy Me a Coffee — one-time supporthttps://buymeacoffee.com/nocturnaltales💛 PayPal — one-time tiphttps://paypal.me/nocturnaltalesprod🎧 Spotify — follow the showhttps://open.spotify.com/show/0OQ7OEseXIMbMt2NTI7oHy🎧 Apple Podcastshttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/nocturnal-tales-mystery-audiobooks-and-crime-stories/id1896195848🧾 CREDITSWritten by Nocturnal Tales.
