Pushing Up Daisies

She can’t keep a plant alive.

Now she’s supposed to solve a murder.

Meg Trammell didn’t plan on moving to small-town North Carolina—and she definitely didn’t plan on inheriting her late aunt’s cottage, a spot in Bellford’s most cutthroat gardening club… or a front-row seat to a dead body in the rose garden.

When the Garden Society’s reigning champion turns up dead among her prize-winning blooms, Meg becomes the last person to see her alive—and the first person the police side-eye.

The Garden Tour must go on (according to the terrifying club president).

The suspects are all armed with pruning shears and grudges.

And the only deputy willing to help keeps telling Meg to stay out of it… while handing her just enough information to do the exact opposite.

With zero gardening skills, a talent for asking inconvenient questions, and a town where gossip spreads faster than kudzu, Meg is about to dig up more than weeds.

Because in Bellford, the real danger isn’t the thorns…

It’s the neighbors.
