The Skeleton Garden
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.

Pru thinks she’s found her dream job, but majestic Greenoak Manor has more than a few skeletons in its many closets — and in its garden.

Pru leaps at the chance to renovate the house’s extensive grounds. Especially given her history with Greenoak’s head gardener. Who happens to be her long-lost brother Simon.

She and Simon squabble about everything from boxwood to bay hedges. But their arguments stop when a skeleton is unearthed in the garden, tangled in the roots of a half-dead tree alongside a WWII fighter plane.

Long-buried secrets are threatening the peace of the village . . .

The older locals remember the plane crashing, but no one knows the identity of the bones.

Then a fresh dead body turns up in the grounds.

And Simon’s immediately the prime suspect.

Pru knows her brother’s not a murderer and she’s not about to let him take the fall for someone else’s crimes.

Could a 70-year-old secret really be worth killing for? It’s up to Pru to find out.

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!
