The star of public televisionβs top gardening show, Louise Eldridge is something of a celebrity. But when a dead body is planted in her backyard, sheβs in for notoriety of a different kind... Five years ago, Louise identified Peter Hoffman as the βmulch murderer.β Now heβs been released from a Virginia state mental institution. Shaken when she crosses paths with him at a neighborhood party, Louise and family decide to take a little R&R at the beach in the hope that Hoffman will have moved on by the time they return.
When they get back from vacation, Hoffmanβs moved on all rightβbut not in quite the way Louise had hoped. Heβs been missing for seven days, and Louise is the one who finds himβ¦buried beneath her native azalea patch. Things go from bad to worse once the police learn that someone saw Louise planting one of the nights she was supposed to be out of town. But before Louise can make any serious headway, another murder victim turns upβfelled by a garden claw covered in Louiseβs fingerprints.
Now, with more than just her television career in jeopardy, Louise will have to dig up some serious clues to bring a killer to lightβbefore another person winds up as fertilizerβ¦
