The Gardener’s Plot: A Mystery – 9781250334992

Description

Marlowe holds many memories for her, and now it also offers a fresh start. Maggie has always loved gardening, so it’s only natural that she signed on to help Violet Bloom set up a community garden.

But, when opening day arrives, Violet is nowhere to be found, and the gardeners are restless. Things go from bad to worse when Maggie finds a boot buried in one of the plots . . . and there’s a body attached to it. Suddenly, the police are looking for a killer, and they keep asking questions about Violet. Maggie doesn’t believe her friend could do this, and she’s going to dig up the dirt needed to prove it.

The Gardener’s Plot takes readers to the heart of the Berkshires and introduces amateur sleuth Maggie Walker in Deborah J. Benoit’s Minotaur Books/Mystery Writers of America First Crime Novel Award-winning debut.
