Thriller Police Procedural | Mystery Woman Sleuth

The star of public television’s top gardening show, Louise Eldridge is something of a celebrity. But when a dead body is planted in her backyard, she’s in for notoriety of a different kind... Five years ago, Louise identified Peter Hoffman as the “mulch murderer.” Now he’s 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, Hoffman’s moved on all right—but not in quite the way Louise had hoped. He’s been missing for seven days, and Louise is the one who finds him…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 up—felled by a garden claw covered in Louise’s 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 light—before another person winds up as fertilizer…
