The tranquillity she's hoping for, marred by simmering tensions from the start, is shattered completely when someone turns up dead. Who would want to kill a stranger on a weekend gardening break? And why?That's what obnoxious DCI Knight wants to know, and he's not above ruffling a few feathers to find out.The mildly interesting incident in the maze that Aggie accidentally witnessed might now be a major clue in a murder inquiry. Dismissed as an interfering busybody by Knight, can Aggie discover the secrets the guests at Myrtle Manor are keeping before someone else is killed?Delve into the exhilarating twists and turns of the first Aggie McCorquodale Mystery, a classic traditional mystery from Jane Cooper.

    ‿A windswept love letter to Scotland‿s heritage sheep and to the Orkney farming community too.‿ Cal Flyn, author of Islands of AbandonmentThe Lost Flock is the story of the remarkable and rare little horned sheep, known as Orkney Boreray, and the wool-obsessed woman who moved to one of Scotland‿s wildest islands to save them. It was Jane Cooper‿s passion for knitting that led her to discover the world of rare-breed sheep and their wool. Through this, Jane uncovered the ‿Orkney Borerary‿ ‿ a unique group within the UK‿s rarest breed of sheep, the Boreray, and one of the few surviving examples of primitive sheep in northern Europe. As her knowledge of this rarest of heritage breeds grew, she took the bold step to uproot her quiet suburban life in Newcastle and relocate to Orkney, embarking on a new adventure and life as farmer and shepherd. Jane was astonished to find that she was the sole custodian of this lost flock in the world, and so she began investigating their mysterious and ancient history, tracking down the origins of the Boreray breed and its significance to Scotland‿s natural heritage. From Viking times to Highland crofts and nefarious research experiments in Edinburgh, this is a so-far untold real-life detective story. It is also the story of one woman‿s relentless determination to ensure a future for her beloved sheep, and in doing so revealing their deep connection to the Scottish landscape. An unforgettable story of a heritage breed and the importance of its existence. ‿Rare-breed sheep, Scotland‿s most dramatic landscapes and a woman on a mission. All the perfect ingredients for an ovine true-life adventure.‿ Sally Coulthard, author of A Short History of the World According to Sheep

    A wood cookstove, for me? Sure, if you like delicious food, want to save money, and believe that a stove should do more than cook food. But isn't it difficult to use? There are some techniques to learn, and they're described in this book. Take Jane Cooper's warm hand and be guided into the world of woodstove cookery. You'll learn how to buy a stove, new or used, how to set it up, how to fuel it for various uses, how to keep it clean and in peak operating condition. And how to cook on it? Yes, a lot about that. And dozens of recipes, with emphasis on cooking best adapted to the kitchen range -- baking bread that tastes as good as it smells, cooking stews that gain goodness in hours on the back of the stove, roasting meats. Mouthwatering dishes that would make even Grandma envious. And you know how Grandma used to cook. Who is the author, Jane Cooper? She 's a professional writer with a lot of experience using a wood range. Before writing this she called on wood cookstove cooks across the nation, and they responded with recipes, ideas, warnings, hints. Only then did she sit down -- at the kitchen table, of course -- and write this book that is a source of both knowledge and enjoyment.
