Silent Bud Deadly

English Cottage Garden Mysteries, Book 2

By: H.Y. Hanna

Narrated by: Pearl Hewitt

Poppy never imagined she’d move to the English countryside and fall in love with a smug, demanding, ginger-haired male. Of course, that was before she discovered that she’d inherited a cottage garden nursery and before she met a certain talkative orange cat. Now she’s embracing a new life filled with rambling roses, fragrant herbs, warm summer days…and weeds (lots of weeds), as she attempts to restore the neglected cottage garden to its former glory.

When she lands her first gardening job at a beautiful country house, Poppy is delighted to earn some much-needed money. But she barely sets foot in the flower bed before the meddling neighbour drops dead in front of her - murdered by a lethal poison. Before she knows it, Poppy is busy weeding out suspects, helped by mad scientist Bertie and his feisty terrier, Einstein, plus a whole host of nosy villagers…not to mention maverick crime author Nick Forrest.

But with her clients’ flowerbed mysteriously dying and red herrings at every turn, Poppy soon discovers that neither gardening nor sleuthing are as simple as she thinks....

so cozy

wonderful story engaging characters fabulous narrator I can hardly wait for the next in the series I am so glad to be able to enjoy these wonderful stories

Great fun cozy English and a mystery

I love H.Y. Hanna’s mysteries. I laugh out loud in every one of her mysteries, so far. These are great fun and clean. They are well written and engaging.

wonderful

I enjoy all of Hannah's book series, Im especially enjoying Poppy. I love that the cat is the neighbor's territorial ginger, and how she has a connection with Suzanne, the detective. Refreshing to see the main Character not relying on the connections of a male Character.. Obviously it would be great for her and Nick to get together. But Im enjoying the Main character meeting friends and such Without the relationship that Caitlin & Gemma have in the other series.
Hannah has a great ability to tap into some great and diverse Characters.The stories don't pull "last Chapter Characters" who are the killers without having been in the book until theend.
Pearl Hewitt is the by far the best Audible on line narrator.

About the narration..

I like H.Y Hanna, and all of her books. I also really love Pearl’s narration and how well she brings the characters to life. My only qualm is the “narration” of the cat’s meows. It’s so loud and obnoxious, and if you’re listening to the book while relaxing it will jolt you up. It’s such a harsh MOWWWW and it makes the cat character incredibly annoying. I have this complaint for all the books, why on earth is the cat not done more quietly and gently? The cat makes many appearances too, so it’s not just one time, but many many times over and over.

cozy fun read

lovable characters, mystery to solve and adorable furry friends make this a delightful read! Enjoy!
