When Meredith Mitchell bumps into her old schoolfriend Rachel Hunter at the Chelsea Flower Show it doesn't take Meredith long to realise that she and the effortlessly self-confident blonde have even less in common now than they had as teenagers. Apart from one thing - Meredith's companion, Chief Inspector Markby. For to the embarrassment of all concerned, except of course the self-possessed Rachel, Meredith's old schoolfriend turns out to have been Markby's former wife, from whom he was divorced years before in less than friendly circumstances. The meeting with Rachel is not the only surprise the Flower Show has in store for Markby - before the afternoon is out he has a death on his hands. All too quickly he and Meredith find themselves drawn into the plush, apparently well-run world Rachel and her second husband created for themselves in their Cotswold home, Malefis Abbey, a world which Markby becomes increasingly convinced harbours a highly skilled murderer ...

Flowers for his funeral

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 5, 2014

I enjoyed some of the earlier books more than this one.

While we're told a murder occurs at the Chelsea Flower Show, and it does, we get almost nothing of the show setting, just hot and crowded and then they leave, so it feels like a swizz. The actual death takes place on a public street.

Meredith Mitchell and her inspector friend Markby are like an old married couple, except they've never been either married or a couple. In this book there is no spark of love at all. Perhaps that's because Meredith's school mate turns out to be Markby's ex wife. It's her new husband who is unfortunately killed.

I thought that for a police inspector Markby seems to know just about nothing, including that his ex and her Mediterranean husband were living in a large country house not far from him. Overall I did find the tale tedious and the characters all one-sided.

The author still uses exclamation marks! all the time! when most of us would use them once or twice a book. She also uses It with incredible frequency; close to the start a long paragraph consists of four sentences, three of which start with It. The passive voice is used almost all the way through - it had been raining, etc. Maybe some editor decided to prove that a book written against all best writing advice might still sell.

I have now listened to several of her books and all keep you in suspense to the end! The plots are very different from usual mysteries.

A very good read.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on March 4, 2023

Verified Purchase

When Meredith and Alan meet Rachel Constantine née Hunter, previously Markby at Chelsea Flower Show, they don't realise that it will all lead to murder.
The tragic consequences mean that Meredith is going to stay with Alan's ex-wife while she mourns her husband. Alan is not allowed to investigate, so there is a superintendent from Scotland Yard down as well to investigate.
Rachel's behaviour at times seems at odds with what has occurred,but is Rachel really mourning her husband's death? Or is she in denial? Other murders happen which send the investigations in a different direction. 🤔 Highly recommended.

Flowers For His Funeral

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on May 2, 2016

Verified Purchase

Meredith Mitchell and Alan Markby bump into Rachel - an old school friend of Meredith's when they are visiting the Chelsea Flower Show. She soon realises that they have less in common now than they had when they were at school.

Alan Markby is dismayed to find that he is face to face with his ex-wife - from whom he was acrimoniously divorced several years before. But that isn't the only shock in store for Meredith and Alan as a sudden death sees them involved in a complex investigation which leads them back to Rachel's luxurious home in the Cotswolds - Malefis Abbey.

This is a well written mystery story which sees both Mitchell and Markby playing their parts in the investigation though not in any official capacity. I thought the characters were interesting - Rachel herself, the local villagers who seem almost caught in a bubble which does not admit any outsiders.

This is the seventh book in this series of low key crime novels and I think they are best read in order of publication so that the reader can follow the development of the relationship between Meredith and Alan.

This seems to have been rushed

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on August 31, 2022

Verified Purchase

This is an enjoyable series with very likeable characters, and the author introduces a nice touch of humour, But, oh dear, Markby's ex-wife commented that she had forgotten what a very good detective he was, but from the moment the results of the autopsy were revealed, less than half way through the book, it was blatantly obvious what had happened, and he didn't even consider it, never mind realise. I also feel that the relationship between the two main characters is moving slowly to the point of being quite irritating, but I am sure that this will develop, and have already bought the next in the series to find out...and in hope!

One of the best Mitchell & Markby books - recommended

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on January 1, 2014

Verified Purchase

I read all the Mitchell & Markby books when they first came out and have found that they are quite easy to return to every few years. I've started re-reading the entire series again and replacing some of the more worn out ones from Amazon

Flowers For His Funeral is the 6th (out of 15)and is one of the best.

Here we have Alan and Meredith meeting up, by accident, with Alan's ex wife and her current husband. The husband unfortunately dies the same afternoon! The rest of the book takes place in the hamlet of Lynstone where the ex-wife lives. There is the usual assortment of rural oddbods and two more murders. The plot gallops along and the ending is unpredictable, at least to me.

Like all the M&M books, this is an easy read and quite cosy. As the series goes on, the on-off relationship between Meredith and Alan can get a bit tiresome, but this book is mid series.

Very good read with some excellent characters. The ending was surprising. It’s the seventh in the series and I’ll be reading the rest.
