Another fun, entertaining mystery in the Gardening series by H.Y. Hanna. She is prolific and the books just keep on coming. The characters develop and build relationships as the storyline continues from book to book. Cute vivacious, Poppy is getting the hang of gardening taking over her grandmother's business. She has two cute animals that are part of the plot and two neighbors who are connected to the animals. One a handsome, author, Nick and possible romantic interest?, the other an absentminded professor, Bertie. Of course there is a police detective, this time a woman who Poppy can share information with. There is always a murder to solve so the fun can continue.
This time Poppy is learning how to create a garden that will be calming and attractive to an elderly woman's dog. The woman is a bit eccentric, so when her niece is killed, Poppy tries to figure out who could have a motive for murder. While trying to get her business up and running, Poppy has a chance to interview various people in the village. She has the assistance of Nick and Bertie as she tries to ask questions surreptitiously and the ear of the police detective, Susan who will eventually bring the culprit to justice.
Along the way Hanna shares some gardening and florist tips that Poppy is learning. All good fun for a quiet afternoon.
