Poppy is settling into life in an English village and gaining some green fingers at last as she restores the beautiful cottage garden nursery she's inherited. When she meets a wealthy dog lover at the village fête and is hired to create a "canine scent garden", the future looks rosy...until the day ends with a vicious killing, and she finds herself spade-deep in a murder investigation once again.

Meanwhile, Einstein the terrier has fallen head-over-paws for a pampered poodle, and Poppy has her hands full keeping him out of trouble. With vandals attacking her cottage and orders for flowers flooding in, she barely has time for sleuthing! But when unexpected help comes from her mad scientist neighbor Bertie, as well as crime author Nick Forrest and his talkative cat Oren, Poppy is sure she's found the killer.

The only problem is - with false clues and suspects galore, could she be barking up the wrong tree?

This series is lovely simple intriguing with a great narrator. Wonderful to listen to as I do some quilting projects. On to book 4!

Delightful!

I found myself getting frustrated with the actions of the main character. They were often such immature decisions. She still has a lot if growing up to do. There are so many knowledgeable people around from whom she could enhance her gardening skills yet she is so hesitant to ask for advice. I also don’t understand why she is not carrying her cell phone with her - there were so many places in this and the other stories in the series when this would have been of benefit and it is unusual behaviour for someone her age.

That being said I enjoyed the writing of this author and her ideas. Someone mentioned ‘ageism’ and the references to old persons could be replaced with other descriptors - after all age is relative and many of us old-timers do enjoy reading mysteries 😉.

The narrator is excellent and contributes much to the enjoyment of the books.

A pleasant mystery series with a very good narrator
