JRL Anderson 
Death in the Greenhouse 
A classic English murder mystery

Old Mr Quenenden seems not to have an enemy in the world: having retired to a cottage in Berkshire, he leads an idyllic life breeding tropical plants. Which is why it comes as a complete shock when his body is discovered in his greenhouse – murdered.



In London, Peter Blair is hard at work on his own investigation into top-level blackmail in the City, but he quickly realises that the two cases have more in common than meets the eye.



A complex botanical clue means Peter must dig deep to stand a chance of solving the crime – but do the answers lie on home soil after all?



Wonderfully crafted yet grippingly tense,
Death in the Greenhouse is a vintage J.R.L. Anderson mystery.

About the author

JRL Anderson was an author of fourteen mystery stories and numerous works of non-fiction. He was a journalist at the Guardian for many years, before retiring to pursue his career as an author. He had a life-long interest in sailing and adventure, which results in many of his novels (as his original author biography from the 1970s puts it) ending ‘with an exciting sea chase in a small boat’.
