Acknowledgements
I would like to thank all the team at Crime and Mystery Club for having continued faith in my stories: Ion, Claire, Ellie, Hollie, Paru and Sarah. This book would never have happened without you. My thanks also go to Jayne and Steven for their skilled editorial work, to Nick for his eagle-eyed proofreading, and Steve for his brilliant cover design incorporating Phillipa’s lovely original artwork. Producing a book is a real team effort, and I am fortunate to have such a dedicated team of experts supporting my writing.
I am grateful to the owners of a certain little rescue dog.
As for the real Poppy, who inspired this story, I wish you a long and healthy life filled with happiness, treats and walks in the grass.
