Nightshade Farm should have brought the village together. But when a body is found among the flowers, Eve Mallow will have to dig deep to solve the case!

Eve Mallow’s husband Robin has been brought in to run Nightshade Farm, a community project meant to cultivate connections and grow food for people in need. But the project is off to a rocky start. Celebrity chef Elliot Norland is forking over the cash, but Eve’s afraid he’s being blackmailed. Certainly his presence seems to be raking up old scandals. So when he’s struck down with a spade and suffocated in a heap of manure, has he just reaped what he sowed?

Eve sets to work alongside dachshund Gus, weeding through the suspects. Could it have been Elliot’s daughter, furious that her inheritance was going to the farm? His aunt, who was blackmailing him over a secret that she also didn’t want coming to light? And what does any of this have to do with an antique sword that went missing twenty years ago?

Yet just as Eve’s investigation seemed about to bear fruit, her prime suspect is found dead… Who has been leading her up the garden path? And will Eve be able to nip these murders in the bud, or will she be the next one cut down in her prime?

A completely gripping English mystery, full of cozy charm and puzzling clues. If you like Miss Marple, Agatha Raisin and Jessica Fletcher, you’ll love Eve Mallow!
