Publisher's summary

Poppy is settling into life in an English village and gaining some green fingers at last as she restores the beautiful cottage garden nursery she's inherited. When she meets a wealthy dog lover at the village fête and is hired to create a "canine scent garden", the future looks rosy...until the day ends with a vicious killing, and she finds herself spade-deep in a murder investigation once again.

Meanwhile, Einstein the terrier has fallen head-over-paws for a pampered poodle, and Poppy has her hands full keeping him out of trouble. With vandals attacking her cottage and orders for flowers flooding in, she barely has time for sleuthing! But when unexpected help comes from her mad scientist neighbor Bertie, as well as crime author Nick Forrest and his talkative cat Oren, Poppy is sure she's found the killer.

The only problem is - with false clues and suspects galore, could she be barking up the wrong tree?

Another good tale

H.Y. Hannah has done it again. A good mystery seasoned with humor. I am looking forward to the next book.

Hilarious!

I was laughing out loud throughout much of this book. Bertie is easily one of my favorite characters. He's hilarious! What a character. <3 There were times I was vocally upset over Poppy's choices, but in the end, her choices turned out to be for the best, so I was happy again. My favorite book in the series so far!

Thouroughly Enjoyed One

I loved the descriptions of the gardens. So English.
The manor character was so ridiculous she seemed cartoonish. However this only added the lighthearted tone of the book. I really had a chuckle at some parts. Such imagination! This was just what I needed. I’m enjoying all of H.Y. Hanna stories, and Pearl Hewitt is the perfect narrator. Perfect voice for all of the stories. I look forward to listening to more!

This is my idea of a perfect cozy mystery

I know you have read the summary. Here's my impression of the book set in a Beautiful Cotswolds English garden maintained by Poppy who is attempting to take over her departed grandmother's garden business because she fell in love with the place. Poppy is not the most careful person and has a lot of pride but she's bright and cheerful. An antidote to those tired of morose detectives who swig alcohol every chance they get and are perpetually gloomy. Her friends are many and the best are not human and very vocal. Food is often mentioned. Poppy gets to attend a village fete for the first time in her life and really enjoys herself. I had fun along with her. Poppy brings her skills to bear when someone (I won't tell you who) is murdered. Justice must be done and innocents saved.

A warm cozy

I love all kinds of books. Sometimes I like a hard boiled mystery but other times I am up for a well written cozy. This series fits that need. Interesting characters and smiles along with a murder to solve
