The Murder Garden : An Utterly Unputdownable Cozy Mystery

A winding path leads past the beautiful begonias to an overhanging oak tree. But underneath, a deadly secret is hiding... Beth Haldane cradles a warm cup of tea and admires the view of crisp, red autumn leaves scattering the lawn of her little garden. But the peace and quiet is interrupted when her loyal pet pooch sniffs out something suspicious. At the bottom of a freshly-dug hole is a bone: and it looks worryingly human. Even for a mystery-loving amateur sleuth like Beth, the discovery of a body beneath her own lawn is a little too close for comfort. But when the police insist that she must know something about the remains, digging up the truth herself is Beth's only option. With gossip flying all around Dulwich Village, Beth has her work cut out to find the culprit. Could a local cat-sitter, with keys to every home on the street, have been involved? Is her ex-actress neighbour a little too good at acting innocent? And was a whispered secret at a dinner party meant to point Beth in the right direction? Scouring her garden for missed clues, when Beth discovers a shining silver engraved coin she's certain it will lead to the victim's identity. But the arrival of a threatening anonymous message sends chills down her spine... can Beth find a killer hiding in plain sight, before she's the one pushing up daisies? A deliciously cozy and gripping murder mystery, perfect for fans of Agatha Christie, T.E. Kinsey and The Thursday Murder Club.
