About this deal

Sweetpea hits all the right buttons. A dark, twisted read about a female serial killer with dollops of humour, sarcasm and a lightweight approach…keeping you gripped and on the hook, both smiling and squirming.” - Maxim Jakubowski, Lovereading

Rhiannon is your average girl next door, settled with her boyfriend and little dog…but she’s got a killer secret. When we say there are a few different types of sweet peas we are referring to their key characteristics and flower form. You MUST read this book especially if you like your (anti) heroes dirty-mouthed, deadly and dark, dark dark. ADORED IT' Fiona Cummins, author of Rattle -The sweet pea notebooks are labelled on the cover with the year, and inside with ‘sweet pea crosses’ and sometimes where the plants were grown. For example, 04 Fcontains records of plants grown ‘at the farm’. This could perhaps mean Trinity farm, although later notebooks in this series refer to Merton Hall Farm, and this may be a more likely location. There are clearly at least two handwriting styles in these records, and since Bateson and Punnett had begun their collaboration, it is probable that at least one of these is Punnett’s. Visceral, chilling and absolutely downright thrilling: I wish I had read it sooner!’ NetGalley reviewer ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ As with the poultry breeding, Bateson began with commercial varieties of sweet peas, which showed variation in plant form and flower colour. Many of these varieties were obtained from seed companies, in particular Suttons of Reading, and are named in the early records. One of these, Blanche Burpee, is a true breeding white variety, which when crossed with another white variety, Emily Henderson, produced progeny with purple flowers and led to the discovery of complementation. That is until her soon-to-be sister-in-law has a run in with her abusive ex, and Rhiannon rediscovers her taste for revenge. This time, with a loving family in tow, the stakes are much higher. Wedded bliss and life as a normal person are finally within Rhiannon's reach, but you can never keep a good serial killer down. Two of the key books provide summaries of sweet pea crosses - MS Add.10161/1/5/16for 1904-1909 and 1914and MS Add.10161/1/5/17for 1908-1939. The latter is labelled ‘ Lathyrus ledger’, signed inside by R.C. Punnett, Whittinghame Lodge. It is important because it contains summary records of the sweet pea crosses carried out from 1908 through, in some cases, to 1931, with additional notes for 1936-1939. These summaries are cross referenced to the main series of sweet pea notebooks. Inside the cover of this ledger is a list of letter codesreferring to phenotypic characters, e.g. A1 - purple/red (flowers), A2 - long/round (pollen), A3 - erect/hooded (flower shape). Many of the crosses in the notebooks are then identified only by these codes e.g. A1 x D2.
