Welcome to Glacier — where the flowers are beautiful… and some of them are deadly.

When the town’s most celebrated gardener collapses after sipping tea at Mel Willoughby’s bookstore, what first looks like a tragic allergic reaction quickly begins to feel like something far more deliberate. Poison doesn’t appear by accident. As suspicion winds its way through Glacier’s tight-knit gardening community, Mel finds herself digging into rivalries rooted decades deep — jealousies carefully cultivated beneath perfectly tended soil.

But someone isn’t finished yet. And in a town where reputations grow as fiercely as the prize-winning blooms…another victim may already be planted. With her loyal Jack Russell, Su-Jitzu, at her side and a cast of quirky locals watching closely, Mel must untangle secrets before the killer strikes again. Because in Glacier, even the loveliest gardens can hide lethal intentions.

A Budding Murder is Book Three in the beloved Grind and Bookmarks Cozy Mystery Series — where charm meets danger and every visit to Glacier reveals a new secret.
Once you arrive… you won’t want to leave.
