Summary

The Cherry Blossom Corpse casts Scotland Yard's Perry Trethowan as his sister Cristobel's reluctant escort when the World Association of Romantic Novelists gathers in a picturesque Norwegian village. Perry expects little more than a few dull days watching the grandes dames of romantic fluff float by in their extravagant finery. But when Britain's queen of romance, Amanda Fairchild, is found face down in a fjord, her pale pink shanktung billowing around her, Perry's vacation is cut short while he helps discover which of Amanda's rivals, all vying for the number one slot in the lucrative world of romantic pulp, might wield a weapon far deadlier than a pen
