A decent cozy mystery. I wonder if the author has ever really been short of money though - her main character Paula is supposedly barely making ends meet but she can afford massages & manicures?

I'm more than 20 books behind posting on Goodreads, so borrowing synopsis from Amazon:
Meet Paula Holliday, a transplanted media exec who trades her stilettos for garden clogs when she makes the move from the big city to the suburbs to start a gardening business. Paula can handle deer, slugs and the occasional human pest - but she's not prepared for the mummified body she finds while restoring the gardens at Halcyon, a local landmark.

Casual snooping turns serious when a body is impaled on a garden tool and one of Paula's friends is arrested for the crime.


Paula was fun, and so were her friends. The author obviously knows her gardening, but it wasn't crammed down the reader's throat. I do have the next in the series, the Big Dirt Nap, on my to-get list. The book DOES need some editing, and I kept catching some of the clever statements being made repeatedly. There are so many readers that would just love to edit in exchange for a free copy.. don't understand why authors don't take advantage of that.

Paula Holliday is a gardener for hire. She landscapes mansions, their smaller cousins and even smaller relations set outside front doors and local businesses. She also solves murders, but that’s not always her volition nor fault. Like a weed, she just happens to be in the wrong place at the right time.

When a well-to-do customer/friend asks Paula to go into business with her, all expenses paid, it seems a bit hard to believe. Then, when said friend is picked up as an 20 year escapee under alias, things start to get dicey. The husband, relying on Paula’s past accomplishments, asks for her help in finding out how his wife was found, the dice begin to roll, and not always in Paula’s favor.

Sleuthing her way into numerous threatening scenarios, she again uncovers the ills that threaten and gains another notch on her garden sheers.
