Details: nr. 3 Inspector Vera Stanhope Mystery
Library

Vera and her team are called to the scene when a young man is found death in a bath, surrounded by flowers, murdered.
The set-up intrigues the investigators, but when a young woman is found in a similar set up in a rock pool, their fascination turns into deep worry.
Their investigation soon centres on the group of bird watchers who found the girl, but doesn't appear to throw up any real clues.
Until, that is, the younger sister of the first victim disappears and a race against time starts to prevent a third murder.
Good mystery, although I didn't like Vera Stanhope very much. Why must main characters be either very beautiful or not beautiful at all?
