A mystery is waiting to be solved in

Helston

It's the biggest event of the year in Helston - Flora Day - and everyone is buzzing with excitement. But shock and horror struck when beloved resident Daisy-Rose Bloom was found slumped beside the boating lake, just days before the big dance. Who could have done this to her, and why?

Local authorities are baffled by the crime, with no clear motive or suspect in sight. Could it be a jealous rival, desperate to take out the competition? Or perhaps someone with a grudge against the town's beloved dancer? Chief Inspector Lettice Grow has called upon the help of the best detectives (that's you!) to assist in solving this mystery. Will you be able to weed out the culprit, dig up the evidence, and uncover the truth?
