Murder At The Maplewood Garden Tour

A Maplewood Cozy Mystery

By: Erin Macy

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

A Blooming Festival, Bitter Rivalries, and One Very Dead Judge
When Maplewood’s annual Garden Tour begins, Ivy Sinclair expects gossip and rivalry. Not murder.
A former Chicago journalist turned small-town columnist, Ivy still studies how Maplewood works. She notices what others miss. She asks questions people avoid. Myra Penn, the Garden Tour’s head judge, was found dead in a greenhouse. Ivy refuses to believe it was an accident.
Her loyal beagle, Watson, stays close. Her neighbor Alice offers tea, cookies, and steady advice. Ivy begins to dig.
A club president fighting to save her reputation had plenty to lose. A nervous gardener hiding forged records had reason to panic. Both crossed the victim. Neither tells the whole truth.
Anonymous threats appear. Poison follows. Ivy knows the killer is near.
If she doesn’t uncover the truth before the final judging, the Garden Tour won’t be the only thing that ends in disaster.

You can enjoy each Ivy Sinclair Cozy Mystery books as a standalone.

4.25 stars - Ivy and Watson are on the case again! The story revolves around the Bloom Off festival and the murder of Myra Penn, the competition's head judge. There are at least several possible suspects and that kept me guessing - mostly going back and forth between two of the townspeople. Watson eagerly helps Ivy on her quest to find out the truth. I enjoyed following the clues. Another solid cozy by Erin Macy.
