The Gardener in the Graveyard
by Lis Howell

A COZY MURDER MYSTERY SET IN A PICTURESQUE CUMBRIAN VILLAGE.

Suzy Spencer is branching out — she’s working with local retiree gardeners on a podcast about rewilding the graveyard garden in Norbridge. But a body is found in a wheelie bin and chaos begins . . .

Queen bee of the gardening gang, Lorna Duxford, discovers the dead woman. She’s been bludgeoned to death.

It turns out the victim wasn’t local — nobody knew her. So why did Lorna whisper ‘Deirdre’ when she saw her?

Then the wife of another gardener dies in a car crash. But the police quickly discover that this was no accident.

Someone is picking off the gardeners in the graveyard one by one . . .

It’s up to Suzy Spencer to get to the bottom of these sinister goings-on before anyone else pays the ultimate price.

A cozy mystery full of red herrings and twists and turns, set in an idyllic English village.

Perfect for fans of Rhys Bowen, Richard Osman, Jeanne M. Dams, Frances Evesham, Simon Brett and Margaret Mayhew.

Genre: Historical Crime & Mystery
