MEET ABBY FINCH. SHE’S THE BUSY MUM OF THREE, AN EXPERT GARDENER AND THE STAR OF YOUR NEW FAVOURITE COZY MURDER MYSTERY.

In the peaceful Cotswolds village of Maybridge, you wouldn’t expect to find a dead body in the rose garden. And certainly not two.

Abby is horrified to discover the bones of a baby buried under a rose bush. It’s in the garden of her soon-to-be ex-husband Howard’s family home.

She immediately calls the police. But she can’t get hold of Howard. He’s off on a jolly with the woman he’s got pregnant.

And then, just two days later, Abby finds Howard himself.
Lying dead in the very same rose garden.
Throat slashed with her own garden spade.

Now Abby is the prime suspect . . .

Fans of Faith Martin, Jane Adams, Frances Evesham, M.C. Beaton, Clare Chase or Jeanne M. Dams will love this addictive cozy mystery!©2023 Liz Fielding (P)2023 W. F.

I stayed with it but found the number of characters and back references somewhat confusing. No more in this series for me but I can see why it appeals to others hence the many 5 star reviews

a bit different for me. I enjoyed it very much and will read the next book 📖 😀 the story was very good and not to many people in it so not confusing 😉

I enjoyed the story, but like other reviews found it hard to get along with the narration - there was not much difference between character accents, and the author also would bring in a new character without introduction (so you would have to wait and work out who they were and what relation they had).
The reveal of whodunnit felt like it got slipped in at a random moment, not sure if maybe there was a chapter break in the book? The narrator did not announce chapters/change in scenes so sometimes dialogue would continue in a weird fashion.
Would be tempted to read book 2, but will try out other books/series first.

Liked the story, but hard to listen to

When I saw the title of this book it came across as a little trite and another Thursday Murder Club - tongue in cheek style; but having read it, I’m really impressed! Abbie is a really likeable character and I thought the story line was great. I loved how the author dealt with a very sensitive topic in a gentle way, and yet managed to weave it all into a very believable story. Looking forward to more in this series and from this author.
Would definitely recommend!

A misleading title.
