What do a teenager running into trouble, Donald McDonald, and an American millionaire have in common? It is February 2016, and Donald is called away to the villa he co-owns in Spain when it is announced that Britain will be voting on whether or not to leave the EU. By the time Edge returns to the Lawns, Donald is involved in murder - although this time not hunting a murderer, but hiding one. Vivian and William are soon roped in to play their part in untangling the accusations. It is, as the title suggests, a story with its roots sunk twenty years in the past - not only for Donald, but for the dancer with a secret which has distorted her life, who has now killed a man and needs help. Not for herself, as she has always been fiercely independent, but for Donald's biological son . . . There are, as always, twists, turns, and red herrings to be discarded if you are to have your suspicions triumphantly confirmed (or completely confounded) as the friends set about unravelling the truth.

Despite the timing, there's no biting political commentary. No topical book set in this year could be without references to both English and American politics but the adventure is all done and dusted long before 2016 got really hectic. The friends may have their opinions either side of true neutral, but the political bandwagon has the lightest of (purely topical) loads.

After fifteen years in Scotland Elizabeth Lamprey upped sticks in 2017 and moved to the Costa Tropical in Spain - proof of the dangers of thorough research, which had taken her there several times.

Her usual style is cozy and she has said, when asked to compare her books to others, "The Hamish Macbeth series is probably the closest with a Scottish setting, and the gentle rambling is a bit No.1 Ladies Detective Agency..."

She also says of herself 'One of the best, absolute best, things about being an autumn rose, is that I've pretty much paid my family dues, done my bit, seen out my responsibilities and now it's my time. Time to live out dreams, tick those patient items on the to-do list, take on new challenges - time to seize the day.'

As EJ Lamprey she wrote the Grasshopper Lawns series of whodunits (set in Scotland), but also writes a bit of SF as Joanna Lamprey. She also, under the tongue-in-cheek name of Clarissa Rodgers-Briskleigh, writes novels and how-to books about the constantly expanding world of mature singles, a subject she has researched with fascination and enthusiasm since Five Six Pick Up Sticks, in which Edge Cameron deliberately joins a singles website to attract the attention of a genuine ladykiller.
