Daisy: Not Your Average Super-sleuth! The Root of all Evil (Daisy Morrow, #1)

An innocent rosebush, uprooted in the middle of the night, reveals a horrific secret. Determined to bring those responsible to justice, Daisy embarks on a dangerous trail that grows darker and darker with each unexpected turn. Essentially-English, almost-certainly quirky, and definitely a little crazy, come and meet our Norfolk-based R.E.D. (Retired Extremely Daisy) heroine, and find out why she's such a hit with readers of all ages. "One of the best cozy mysteries I've ever read!" "A real breath of fresh literary air!" Retirement to a sleepy East-Anglian village doesn't go quite as Daisy hoped, after a seemingly- insignificant event triggers something very significant indeed. A mystery to solve is the last thing she expects to stumble across in a sleepy village a few miles from Kings Lynn in Norfolk. To her surprise she's adapted to country life quite well, although she rather unkindly refers to the beautiful village of Great Wiltingham as the 'place people go to wilt'. According to Daisy, nothing is ever quite what it seems. In her case, that's the truest thing ever spoken. She's nothing like a pensioner is supposed to be. It could be something to do with the career she had before retiring... or perhaps because she wishes she'd never had to leave it behind at all. For some strange reason, trouble seems to follow her around. It's been a peaceful twelve months settling into village life, but that's about to come to an abrupt end... 'The Root of all Evil' is the first book in the long-running Daisy series. Check out the entire series on the new rtgreen website. While you're there, have a look at our 1920's historical series too, 'The Sandie Shaw Mysteries'. Take a break from the world around you, just for a while. Relax with a smile (or a cringe) and a truly original story. Enjoy!

The RTG mission in life is simple... to not be like everyone else! 'Going Green' has taken on a new meaning, in the book world at least. Whilst we applaud the original meaning (ebooks are a perfect way to promote that) we also try to present a different angle to it. The tendency these days is that if you don't look and read like everyone else, you don't sell books. Maybe there's some truth in that, but we simply don't do it. The RTG books have been described as a 'breath of fresh literary air', and, by those discovering us for the first time, 'unexpectedly good'. We know many readers prefer the same-old same old, and that's fine. It's just not what you get from the RTG stable. Those who know about such things said it would take five years to become a proficient author... I scoffed at that. They were wise. It took six. It's one reason why even today we remodel existing books, and will always do so. Right from the early years the stories were always good, but were put into words less well than they could have been! These days we have several series and a few standalones, the hit Daisy series most popular amongst them. In everything we do, the same provisos apply – - Never the same book twice. - If we can't think up a good story, it doesn't get written. The RTG brand is about exciting and twisty plots, a fast pace which doesn't waste words, and endearing (sometimes slightly crazy) characters. We can never please everyone, but it works for us, and, it seems, for those who appreciate our work. Enjoy! Richard, Ann and the RTG crew
