A mystery is waiting to be solved in

Cockington

The quaint village of Cockington has been thrown into a frenzy with the shocking discovery of Rose Bush, the Head Gardener of the Organic Garden. She was found wilting in her greenhouse, and rumours are flying that it was no accident. Some say she was at war with fellow gardeners, Teresa Green and Lettice Grow, over who could be crowned Mother Earth of Cockington. But the duo swears they're being framed and have alibis for the time of the incident. Could Rose have made another enemy who wanted her out of the picture? DCI Dan D. Lyon has cultivated a list of potential suspects and unearthed a trail of evidence, but he needs a helping hand from TOP Detectives. Can YOU weed out the culprit and solve the mystery, or will it remain unsolved forever?
