The List of Suspicious Things ------- Florence Butterfield has lived an extraordinary life full
of travel passion and adventure. But at eighty-seven she suspects there are no more
surprises to come her way. Then one midsummer's night something terrible happens - so strange
and unexpected that Florrie is suspicious. Was this really an accident or is she living
alongside a would-be murderer? The only clue is a magenta envelope discarded earlier that day.
And Florrie - cheerfully independent but often overlooked - is the only person determined to
uncover the truth. As she does Florrie finds herself looking back on her own life . . . and a
long-buried secret traced in faded scars across her knuckles becomes ever harder to ignore.
