Cheerfully independent Florrie Butterfields life has been filled with travel, passion and adventure, but at 87 she feels that the exciting times are over. Then one summer night something unexpected and strange happens, setting Florrie on a determined quest for the truth. As she turns detective, with only a discarded magenta envelope as a clue, she finds herself looking back on her own life, on the people shes known and loved and lost. And as she moves towards solving the mystery of that summer night and the possibility that she might be living alongside a would-be murderer, she also comes to terms with a secret long buried in her past. Susan Fletchers first novel, Eve Green, won the Whitbread First Novel Award and the Betty Trask Prize. Since then, she has written seven novels, supplementing her writing through various roles, including as a cheesemonger and a warden for a Roman fort near Hadrians Wall.
