Murder in Bloom

The Gardener Mysteries, Book 3

By: Rosie Sandler

Narrated by: Shazia Nicholls

Murder is in full bloom, but can Steph and her sidekick Mouse weed out the killer?

It's an invitation Steph can't refuse when she's handpicked to compete at the prestigious National Trust property Coleton Fishacre. With the country's top garden designers as rivals and a stunning historic estate for inspiration, it feels like a dream come true.

But things quickly turn thorny when the youngest competitor falls mysteriously ill and Steph suspects foul play. Her fears are confirmed when a scream echoes through the gardens, leading her to the horrific sight of a dead body at the foot of the cliff.

With her trusty dog Mouse by her side, Steph's determined not to let the culprit slip through the cracks. Uncovering the truth in a garden full of suspects is no easy task, but Steph must trim away the lies before the murderer prunes the competition - for good!©2024 Rosie Sandler (P)2024 Bonnier Books UK

I’m enjoying this series

I have been enjoying this series. Wonderful narration! I’m looking forward to the next book.

Stumbled upon this author

Story sucks you in! Love the characters (Mouse the dog especially) and the detail with which the story unfolds. The beauty of the gardens are portrayed without dry descriptions and once you start to read you are instantly transported there! I have listened to all her books and this author is stellar!

Wonderful cozy mystery series

I’m such a fan of these books! I love plants and gardening, and am so glad to have cozy mystery series set in and around gardens. The characters and places are well written and interesting—I can’t wait to see where Steph and Mouse end up next:)

The Series Keeps Getting Better

First, Shazia Nicholls has narrated all of the books in the series and she is wonderful. I love listening to her soothing voice. Second, the book isn't woke and it isn't political. It is a wonderful cozy mystery.
