Murder in Season: A completely gripping and unputdownable British cozy mystery! (The Gardener Mysteries Book 5)

By Rosie Sandler

The past can’t stay buried forever…

Steph Williams and her inimitable dog Mouse are in picture-perfect Greenhaven, Essex – an Art Deco village built for factory workers in the 1920s. Tasked with designing a Centenary Garden, Steph is about to dig up more history than she bargained for.

Because Greenhaven’s charm hides more than a few tangled roots. From the poison pen of the Green Raven to the prickly Heritage Society, village gossip, rivalries and resentments run as wild as the weeds Steph’s here to tame.

And when Steph’s digger turns up two skeletons, she knows her project could be at the root of it all. But she’ll have to tread carefully in this closed community, where everyone has something to hide.

When a fresh body shocks the village, it seems that murder is in season at Greenhaven. Can Steph unearth the truth before the killer decides she’s dug too deep?

Gardener-turned-amateur-sleuth, Steph Williams finds herself pruning suspects instead of roses in this charming and unputdownable cosy crime novel. Perfect for fans of Fiona Leitch, M.C. Beaton and Richard Osman!
