Simmy Brown has been asked by DI Moxon to establish an alibi for a man
she had seen briefly in a cafe in Ambleside earlier that morning. He
had been brought in to the police station as a suspect in a murder case.
The following day, Simmy is a little unsure of the alibi.
Later a woman to whom Simmy had delivered flowers to with an unusual
note, comes in requesting information about the person who had sent the
flowers because they couldn't have come from who she thought that they
had come from. Simmy refuses to provide the information because she is
concerned it might be part of a scam.
For some reason, Simmy is attacked and tossed in the stream in
Ambleside. She fortunately survives the fall and cold water, but with a
cracked skull and a broken pelvis. Why would anyone want to kill
Simmy?
There are a lot of convoluted happenings before the crime is solved. A
quick read for fans of amateur sleuthing by author Rebecca Tope.
