The Red Flower Mystery

by Juliet Marais Louw

When Lucy Birdon arrived home for the holidays at the family's farm in the foothills of South Africa's Drakensberg Mountains, it was to find that her home was no longer the happy place she used to know.
Delilah, the native woman who had looked after Lucy and her brother and sister, Larry and Lindy, as long as any of them could remember - their beloved Delilah was going to leave them. When the children discovered the reason - that Simon, her husband, was suspected of stealing from the shop where he worked - they set out to prove his innocence and discover the real culprit.
Lucy, Larry and Lindy are an endearing trio and Juliet Marais Louw has set this delightfully unusual story in the country she knows so well.
