Maggie Eliot, Appleton Fellow for Global Issues at Merrion College,
Oxford, is having an eventful sabbatical year. She has overcome
writer's block, fallen in love and gotten married. She is now
enjoying summer with her husband Thomas, who is also the 28th Baron
Raynham, at Beaumatin, his Cotswolds estate. Thomas takes Maggie to
visit St Margaret's House, a residence for Benedictine nuns
suffering from dementia and Alzheimer's disease. There she meets
Meg, who volunteers at the residence. Meg gives Maggie a sealed
envelope and asks her to keep it safe but not open it. Maggie
reluctantly agrees to keep Meg's secret. Then Maggie finds Meg
murdered in the St Margaret's chapel. Another murder follows and
the police think Maggie may know the man the media are calling the
"Gloucestershire Garrotter." When Maggie at last opens Meg's
mysterious envelope, what she finds inside could well explain the
murders. And she can only hope that the killer's identity is
discovered before she becomes his next victim.
Maggie Eliot has a problem. The American academic is supposed to be
writing a book during a sabbatical year from her position at Oxford
and has come down with a bad case of writer's block. Her friend
Anne arranges for Maggie to borrow a cottage in a picturesque
village in the Cotswolds, where she can write without distractions.
When even this fails to do the trick, Anne decides what Maggie
needs is a complete break and convinces her friend to accompany her
to a snowdrop study weekend. The small white flowers have been
selling at stratospheric prices and Anne wants to see what all the
fuss is about. So off they go to Rochford Manor, home of Lord and
Lady Ainswick and their famous snowdrop garden. The two women
encounter an odd assortment of supposed galanthophiles-as snowdrop
fanciers are called-and hear the first rumours of a priceless
snowdrop called "the Ainswick Orange." On a visit to a neighbouring
snowdrop garden, Maggie meets Lord Raynham, a widower as well as
the 28th Baron. However, while she is admittedly attracted to the
man, in the end she decides it is all way too Jane Austen for her
and that it is unlikely she will ever see him again. Exploring the
Rochford Manor gardens the next morning, Maggie and Anne discover a
brutal murder. The corpse's outstretched hand holds a gardening
trowel that points to a hole from which a snowdrop has been
removed. Lady Ainswick confirms that the Ainswick Orange has been
stolen. When a second murder is committed and the police become
fixed on Lord Raynham as a suspect, Maggie and Anne join forces
with Lady Ainswick to solve the crimes on their own. They discover
that several members of the group do indeed have secrets they are
trying to hide. But does that make one of them a killer? And what
has become of the Ainswick Orange?
It is obvious to Father Bob that the Occupy London movement is
coming to an end and soon the protestors will be forced to leave
the great square in front of Saint Paul's. The self-styled
clergyman has been enjoying the notoriety of the past weeks and is
looking for a way to extend the status quo for himself as well as
the small band of young followers he has attracted. Then he meets a
mysterious Egyptian who makes Father Bob an interesting offer. The
stranger points out that not all of the 1% are in the City of
London. Just as many of the privileged elite live in the country on
their walled estates. He proposes that Father Bob take his group to
the countryside and continue their protests there. The Egyptian
will provide some vans, a place to camp and money for food and
fuel. The Egyptian goes on to tell Father Bob about the current
mania for snowdrops. The small white flowers are selling for
hundreds of pounds for a single bulb, while school budets are
gutted and health care is cut back. He suggests that Father Bob
call himself and his followers the Snowdrop Crusade. Meanwhile,
Professor Maggie Eliot has managed to break through her writer's
block and finish the book she was committed to writing during a
sabbatical year from her position at Oxford. The American academic
has been supported in her efforts by Thomas, the new man in her
life, who also happens to be the 28th Baron Raynham. With her book
complete, Thomas asks Maggie to spend the remaining time of her
sabbatical at Beaumatin, his Cotswolds estate. He also invites her
to accompany him to the annual Snowdrop Ball. At the event, where
the Snowdrop Crusaders are also demonstrating, Maggie meets Carlos
Castillo, a Mexican shipping magnate who envisions creating a
global market for British snowdrops. However, Maggie is suspicious
of the man and decides to find out if the Mexican really is who he
claims to be. Before the evening ends, a deadly fire breaks out.
Did the Snowdrop Crusaders start the blaze? Soon after, Maggie and
Thomas find the bodies of two of the young Crusaders dumped on
Raynham land. Maggie believes there is a connection between the
murders and the Mexican. But what could it be? And just who is
Carlos Castillo? The Snwodrop Crusade is the sequal to The Ainswick
Orange.
