Murder in Bloom

Murder is in full bloom, but can Steph and her sidekick Mouse weed out the killer? It's an invitation Steph Williams can't refuse when she's handpicked to compete in a flower show at the prestigious National Trust property of Coleton Fishacre. With the country's top garden designers as rivals and a stunning historic estate for inspiration, it feels like a dream come true. But things quickly turn thorny when the youngest competitor falls mysteriously ill and Steph suspects foul play. Her fears are confirmed when a scream echoes through the gardens, leading her to the shocking sight of a dead body at the foot of a cliff. With her trusty dog Mouse by her side, Steph's determined not to let the culprit slip through the cracks. Uncovering the truth in a garden full of suspects is no easy task, but Steph must see the wood for the trees before the murderer prunes out the competition - for good! For fans of Richard Coles, Sarah Yarwood-Lovett, and Fiona Leitch, a delightfully witty and gripping cosy crime novel where the stakes are high, the gardens are lush, and murder is always in season.
