Fate worse than death

In the hottest summer for half a century, someone kidnaps Beryl Websdell's garden gnome, leaving a ransom note demanding half a pound of jelly babies for its return. Beryl is upset, and so are her neighbours in the rural Suffolk village where she lives, because the gnome disappeared three days after her daughter also went missing. Beryl doesn't think her daughter has been kidnapped, not really, but she is worried. And so are the police.
