About this listen

Locked in with a killer. Arranging flowers is the only way out.

When Fergus tells Diana he's taking her on a flower-arranging retreat for her birthday, she should have been more suspicious.

Especially when he announces that he's coming with her.

After discovering the whole truth about the retreat, Diana is still considering how to murder Fergus...when one of their fellow flower arrangers is found dead - stabbed in the back with a mystery weapon.

With the retreat on complete lockdown, Diana and Fergus have a mystery to solve that wasn't part of the itinerary.

Will they find the killer before the clock runs out?

Murder on the Orient Express?

Flower arranging version of a great Agatha Christie. Very predictable, slightly humorous and pleasant waste of time. Nice to. listen to whilst cooking dinner or having a manicure. You don't have commit but a lighty entertained.

A blooming good mystery

I loved this book. I really enjoy books were the murder happens behind locked doors and you have to figure out how it happened, so this was a real treat. I love the twist of having to do flower arranging while solving the mystery. Don't worry if you don't know your lilies from your orchids because while the author used her knowledge or researched her subject well she doesn't confuse the reader by giving complicated Latin names or great descriptions, just enough to wonder if my hungry puppy is safe in the garden. I really liked the characters especially the conspiracy friend Fergus, he played his part in the mystery well and had me chuckling. The mystery kept me guessing and I really enjoyed the uniqueness of the plot, I certainly didn't come up with the killer. Good job Diana was on the case because I think I would still be Locked in. It is a fun mystery.
For her up coming birthday Diana is given a weekend away, on a flower arranging course by her good friend Fergus but when she learns he plans to attend as well she wonders what is he really up to. With no information and after signing a waiver she wonders what she has let herself in for. To survive the weekend the group of strangers must work together to over come challenges or face the consequences and with no cell phones she can't even ask goggle. Extreme learning has never been so dangerous, especially when one of participants is killed during the first night. As part of the challenge they are all served food with a poisonous plant in and they have to figure out which is safe to eat. Is somebody trying to kill off all the participants? Diana and Fergus will have to learn everything about there fellow course goers as well as flowers if they want to get out a live. Could one of them be a killer or was the secure bunker not so Locked up? And just why did Fergus really want to come on the course in the first place?
I liked the narrator. She was very different sounding to what I am use to hearing but she does a good job.

the ending is taken straight from another book

I was enjoying this book until I got to the end.
SPOILER ALERT -
the end is lifted straight from a famous Agatha Christie. not just the same theme, but down to all the details. Totally ruined the whole book
