About this listen
But the estate is suddenly thrown into chaos when a dead body is discovered in one of the rooms. The police rule it as suicide, though Steph's convinced they're barking up the wrong tree. Because she knows the deceased better than they do and it could only be one thing: murder. And if the police won't listen to her, then Steph will have to get to the bottom of the case herself.
As Steph starts digging for the truth, it seems the staff are hiding are more than it seems. But one thing is for sure, she's not going to let the killer lead her up the garden path...©2024 Rosie Sandler (P)2024 Bonnier Books UK

A super second instalment to the story of Steph the gardener and Mouse, her adorable dog. We move to a classic country house location for a whodunnit style tale that’s full of well drawn characters and has a very enjoyable plot. Enough complexity for the mystery to hold and to keep you guessing but not so much as to have you rewinding to work out who everyone is. The key to this series is how much we like Steph and, whilst she takes a few silly risks, I am always rooting (sorry, pun unintended) for her. She’s clever and (mostly) sensible as well as having an interesting past and enviable skills as a horticulturist. I’m not very knowledgeable about plants but love the garden descriptions and details about the work Steph is doing; they are very diverting, transporting you to stunning landscaped gardens, a maze and the sweet smell of fresh air. The food descriptions are also really well penned and made me hungry for some country house kitchen cooking.
I thought Lady Clara and Jamie were particularly well written characters this time. I’m so looking forward to the third instalment. Really hoping to learn more about Steph’s birth parents and her ex-husband’s whereabouts.
An excellent story beautifully told

Scots accent isn’t Edinburgh.
Why does she never let her dog out first thing? It must have an amazing bladder.
Not sure why she deems it necessary to racially profile the characters - doesn’t add to the story at all.
Not a bad story but long winded
