By: Tonya Kappes

Narrated by: Johanna Parker

During National Wildflower Week, Normal is abuzz with nature enthusiasts and botanists. But the festivities take a dark turn when a renowned botanist known for her groundbreaking research is found dead under the moonlit sky. The tranquil celebration is shattered, and the town is gripped with shock and disbelief.

The trails may have gone cold, but Mae and her friends are hot on the case. From a land developer with a not-so-clear conservation plan to an assistant whose obsession takes a dangerous turn, the list of suspects is as diverse as the town's flora. Mae delves into a thicket of hidden motives and secrets, discovering that danger in Normal can sprout up unexpectedly.

Navigating through a labyrinth of environmental politics and hidden agendas, the Laundry Club Ladies are determined to expose the truth and bring justice. But in Normal, where the extraordinary often lurks beneath the surface, can Mae piece together the puzzle before the killer strikes again?

Really Cute Series!!!!

Hopefully this will get posted Audible has been playing games with my reviews again. Not putting them up and taking some down. I never understood why they do that because I generally only post five star reviews. Go figure!!

Anyway, this is a really cute cozy mystery series. I would say it’s not as detailed and interesting as DeLeon’s Miss Fortune series but better than her Mud Bug series!

This is just light listening with a murder or two that you can get lost in for usually about five hours or so. This book is no different. There’s a murder at the beginning that through many mishaps gets solved at the very end.

Johanna Parker does a great job narrating. She does Southern so well!!
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

So many suspects. So many twists and turns. The ending was totally unexpected. Mae refused to give up and had help in an unexpected place.
