It's a flower show that gets Inspector Sloan pulled down to Almstone. It seems that someone has been strangled. It is, in fact, the local and much beloved nurse, Joyce Cooper. She was running the fortune teller's tent but was discovered behind it.
This year has been very unusual for the show anyway because the tomato plants weren't judged at all correctly. And it is that point that, while Sloan does end up solving the murders, brings home the proof.
A nice addition to the series. I don't think you have to have read any of the books before it to really appreciate the story. Short and readable.

Not my favourite. I wanted to know about his child and wife?

But maybe in the next one.
