About this listen

City girl Poppy desperately wants to pay off her debts, quit her dead-end job, find her father...oh, and keep a plant alive. But she knows that these are just hopeless dreams - until the day a letter arrives. Suddenly, Poppy is on a train heading deep into the English countryside to claim a mysterious inheritance. And the last thing she expects to receive is a cottage garden nursery - complete with romantic climbing roses, scented herbs, a bossy, talkative ginger cat...and a dead body.

Now, she must solve the mystery or risk losing her new home and the chance for a fresh start. But who would want to murder a gardener in a sleepy little village? Could a reclusive inventor have something to do with the killing? What about the brooding crime author next door? And why is her long-lost cousin so desperate for her to sell the cottage?

Poppy might not know her pansies from her petunias, but that doesn't stop her digging for clues. The only problem is - she could be digging her own grave, too....

A brand new series from H.Y. Hanna.
It has the usual abundance of humour, pets and quirky characters that has become synonymous with the author.
The character development was very good. I particularly liked Bertie who is the source of most of the humour in the story. Nick Forrest, author and former detective, also made an interesting character and a possible romantic interest for Poppy in the future. The cottage and its garden sounded really beautiful in an old fashioned sort of way. I enjoyed watching Poppy come to appreciate it.
The mystery itself was quite good. I enjoyed following Poppy as she tried to figure out what had happened but it was quite obvious who the killer was. Despite this I liked the story. It was lots of fun and entertaining and I look forward to reading the next book in the series.

I voluntarily reviewed an advance reading audio copy.

A lovely new series

I've seen comments about the wimpiness of the main character, and at the start of the story I did find it rather annoying. Possibly the way it is read accents that. But as the story continued that lessened and I really got into the story. Will definitely try the next in the series.

Worth persevering
