Between a Rock and a Hard Place
by Marty Wingate

Escape to a beautiful garden oasis with this page-turning cozy mystery. From a USA Today bestselling author!

Meet Prunella ‘Pru’ Parke, an American gardener who digs up murder and mystery wherever she goes.

Is Pru finally about to get her happy ever after?

Her handsome detective boyfriend just got down on one knee. And now she’s headed to Edinburgh to start work on a project at the Royal Botanic Gardens. It’ll only be for a few months. Then Pru will be back in the arms of her beau. Or so she thinks . . .

But then one of Pru’s new colleagues is found dead. Poor old Iain’s been conked on the head with a rock and dumped in the Water of Leith. Mrs Murchie next door is the one to find him. Out looking for her pampered Siamese cat, Prumper, she gets the fright of her life at the river’s edge.

Any one of the Garden staff could be guilty. But the police have just one suspect in their sights — Pru herself!

Pru thought wedding planning was torture — wrangling with a diva organist and formidable Madame Fiona, the last word in bridal couture — but now the clock is ticking to catch the real killer and clear her name.

Unless this bride wants to walk down the aisle in handcuffs . . .

If you love Rosie Sandler, Sarah Yarwood-Lovett, Agatha Christie, The Thursday Murder Club, Kate Carlisle, Simon Brett or Tonya Kappes, prepare to be hooked by this enchanting character-driven mystery!
