The Garden Club's Deadly Secret
A Cozy Mystery

About this book:

In the picturesque town of Blackwood Glen, the biggest threat usually comes from contested tomato ribbons—until the Garden Club's new treasurer arrives with sharp suits, sharper wit, and a $12,000 hole in the books. Chief horticulturist Chloe Carter prefers the predictable logic of plants to the messy unpredictability of people, but when she discovers someone harvesting lethal doses of poison hemlock from the club's historic apothecary garden, her botanical expertise becomes the only thing standing between a killer and their next victim.

Julian Miller is everything Chloe distrusts: charming, mysterious, and digging around in restricted flower beds before his first meeting. But as the Spring Social approaches and the body count threatens to rise, Chloe must decide whether the devastatingly handsome accountant is her prime suspect—or her only ally. With Eleanor Vance's imperious perfectionism, Beatrice Honeycutt's relentless gossip, and a greenhouse full of deadly specimens, the line between cultivation and murder has never been thinner.

From monkshood to belladonna, every chapter blooms with fresh suspicion in this delightfully deadly cozy mystery where the soil runs deep, the secrets run darker, and the most dangerous weeds are the ones wearing tweed.
