Florence, an 84-year-old British grandmother, lives in Cherry Tree House. Weird temper, paranoid, and arrogant. I have a slight mysophobia and have my own rules for the placement of any items. Sensitive and irritable, she doesn't seem to fit in among the old men and women in the nursing home. Love the Battenberg cake. There are regular things to do to pass the time: counting down the days until Christmas each year with my good friend Elsie, and complaining about the new residents and caregivers. He and retired veteran Jack are neighbors and partners in solving crimes. One evening, Florence's peaceful life in the nursing home came to an abrupt end. Because she saw a person who was confirmed dead sixty years ago. She pushed people into the river to drown with her own hands. With the help of Elsie and her neighbor Jack, Florence discovered the secret of the man's "resurrection from the dead" in the small town of Whitby. ... When Florence fell to the floor and recalled this exciting story, she suddenly realized that she had lost another more important memory, and the truth she was looking for was just the "onion coat" of this terrible memory - peel it off. The first level is secrets; the second level is friendship; the third level is destiny.

A community hiding secrets, an old lady who disappeared after stealing the secret, two little girls pretending to be detectives and searching for evidence, a group of community residents who hide evidence and have different thoughts... In a world full of lies, who is the real perpetrator and who is the innocent victim? Joanna Cannon's original intention in writing: There is such a group of silent people who can't find a sense of belonging. The serious ones have been sent to mental hospitals. More people are hidden in our daily lives, walking around in supermarkets and queuing up at bus stops. They are called "unsociable people who are different from us". They are like the despised "goats" in the Bible story, incompatible with the environment, and always standing in a different camp from us "sheep". I decided to write about these "goats" and "sheep" because I believe that there is something incompatible in everyone, but some people are better at hiding it than others.
