Romance Suspense | Mystery Woman Sleuth
Louise Eldridge is taking her public television garden
show on the road--to Hawaii! But the tropical paradise
isn’t so idyllic once murder makes an unexpected
appearance…
Lush with hibiscus, ficus, plumeria, and monkey-pod trees,
the island of Kauai is the perfect place for Louise to
film a few episodes of Gardening with Nature--especially
since an elite botanical conference is taking place at her
luxury hotel. Sipping mai tais…floating in the lagoon…ah, the good life.
Until prima donnna botanists Bruce Bouting, Matthew Flynn,
and Charles Reuter come crashing into her paradise found.
Their competing egos may make for a good episode of
Louise’s show, but their constant bickering is enough to
wilt a palm tree. After their shoot at the National Tropical Botanical
Garden, home to some of Hawaii’s most beautiful native
orchid species, Louise unwinds with a sunset walk on the
beach. But at the base of a cliff, she makes a grisly
discovery: the battered body of Matthew Flynn. Her
attempts to save his life are fruitless, and--after seeing
his injuries firsthand--Louise is convinced that his death
was no accident. As a dark cloud of suspicion settles over the island,
everyone at the hotel becomes a suspect. The jungle cowboy
had recently trumped his rivals with an important plant
discovery--is a professional jealously at the root of his
murder? It’ll take some serious digging for Louise to
unearth more clues, but she’ll have to be very careful,
because this is one killer who is ready to plant her in
the ground.
