• 'A series I can get behind on so many levels! ... This book is enchanting with a capital EEEEEE! Steph is so relatable and utterly adorable' Reader review, 5 stars Steph Williams is excited to get her hands stuck into her latest gardening project. This time, she's been commissioned by Lady Clara of Ashford Manor to restore the stately gardens to their former glory. But the estate is suddenly thrown into chaos when a dead body is discovered in one of the rooms. The police rule it as suicide, though Steph's convinced they're barking up the wrong tree. For she knows the deceased better than they do and it could only be one thing: murder. And if the police won't listen to her, then Steph will have to investigate the case herself. As Steph tries to get to the root of the matter, she soon discovers that the manor staff hold secrets of their own, and now she's not sure who she can trust. But one thing is for sure, she's not going to let the murderer lead her up the garden path... Gardener turned amateur sleuth Steph and her adorable dog are on the search for a killer in this highly gripping and unputdownable cosy crime novel. Fans of Richard Coles, Fiona Leitch and Sarah Yarwood-Lovett will be hooked from beginning to end. What readers are saying about The Gardener Mysteries series: 'Deliciously cozy ... I basked in the beautifully-written words and allowed myself to be utterly transported' Reader review, 5 stars 'Thoroughly enjoyable read, loved Mouse the dog the most!!!
