It all begins with a rose bush, mysteriously uprooted in the middle of the night, revealing a horrific secret... If you’ve not met our R.E.D. (Retired Extremely Daisy) heroine yet, the first bundle is a great way to get to know her, and the hit series! Three full books for less than the price of two! Daisy moved to a village a few miles from Kings Lynn in Norfolk a year ago, after a very unfortunate incident in London made her decide village life was the best option. She’s adapted to country life quite well, although she rather irreverently refers to the village of Great Wiltingham as the ‘place people go to wilt’. She does have a wicked side, after all! “One of the best cozy mystery series I’ve ever read!” “A real breath of fresh literary air!” In the first book, after some strange goings-on and a murder in the village, Daisy and Aidan, together with a young police-woman called Sarah, whose curiosity gets the better of her, set about solving the mystery. It all begins with a rose bush, mysteriously uprooted in the middle of the night, revealing a horrific secret...

But they’ve only been in the country a few minutes when a mysterious dying man thrusts a note into Daisy’s hand. As he gasps his last breath, he begs her not to involve the police. She suddenly realises there isn’t just one, but two mysteries to be solved! The extra mystery deepens as three different people confess to a murder that took place many years ago. But there’s a silver lining to solving a case the local police closed in the nineteen-sixties, because it unearths an overgrown path that just might lead them to Celia.

What better Christmas surprise for detective-in-training Flavia de Luce than a dreadful murder under Buckshaw's roof - and a snowbound house full of suspects! It's Christmas time, and our beloved Flavia is tucked away in her laboratory whipping up a sticky concoction to trap that infamous sneak, Saint Nick, and thereby prove once and for all - despite the claims of her evil sisters - that he does exist. But she is soon distracted from her task: Colonel de Luce, in desperate need of funds, has rented the family's crumbling manor house to a film company for the holidays. When its crew arrives from London to shoot a movie starring the reclusive and renowned actress, Phyllis Wyvern, there's no end to the disruptions - and dramas - demanding Flavia's attention. When Wyvern is convinced to perform a famous scene to help raise funds for the local church, it is decided that Buckshaw Manor is the only suitable location. Its foyer alone is bigger than the parish hall, and could fit every man, woman, and child in Bishop's Lacey, to a soul. It's almost Christmas Eve, but - to no one's surprise - all of the village inhabitants fight their way through a raging snowstorm to be in the audience that magical night. As the actors take to the stage, however, the blizzard sets in, and it becomes clear that the villagers will have to hunker down at Buckshaw for the night. Sleeping head to toe in the de Luces' foyer seems amenable to most, until word spreads of the evening's shocking conclusion - Phyllis Wyvern is found strangled to death in the Blue Bedroom, with a length of film from one of her movies tied in an elaborate bow around her neck. But who among the assembled guests would stage such a chilling scene? As the storm worsens and the list of suspects grows, Flavia must use every ounce of her chemical cleverness and crime-solving prowess to ferret out a killer hidden in plain sight. But when she does piece the puzzle together and deduce who has committed this twisted crime, will Flavia be able to escape in one piece?
