The Windermere Witness by Rebecca Tope

This is book one in the Lake District Mysteries series. 

Following her divorce, Persimmon 'Simmy' Brown, has moved to Windermere on Bowness in the Lake District where she sets up a florist shop which is near to her parents who run a B&B in Ambleside.  

She has provided the flowers for the wedding of the daughter of a local millionaire.  After delivering the flowers to the hotel she sees and speaks to the bride's half brother Markie Baxter.  Within a few hours he is found murdered in the lake.  Simmy is initially asked to look after a younger daughter of the family, and then the family want to know what she and Markie talked about as she may have been one of the last people to speak to him.  

A lunch meeting is set up for Simmy to talk to the bride's father, but as she is about to get out of her car he is also murdered.  This is also witnessed by Ben, a local 17 year old school boy.  Simmy and Ben share all the information they know and try to work out who murdered the two men.
