Mystery Woman Sleuth
Meet Paula Holliday, a transplanted media exec who trades her stilettos for garden clogs when she makes the move from the big city to the suburbs to start a gardening business. Paula can handle deer, slugs, and the occasional human pest---but sheโs not prepared for the mummified body she finds while restoring the gardens at Halcyon, a local landmark. Casual snooping turns serious when a body is impaled on a garden tool and one of Paulaโs friends is arrested for the crime. Aided by the still-hot aging rocker who owns the neighborhood greasy spoon, a wise-cracking former colleague, and a sexy Mexican laborer with a few secrets of his own, Paula digs for the truth and unearths more dirty business the town has kept buried for years. "..the strengths of Pushing Up Daisies involve place, character and sprightly dialogue....highly original.."

"Contemporary cozies such as Rosemary Harris's Pushing Up Daisies...are reinventing themselves with likable female amateur sleuths who are smarter, less nosey and able to work their investigations plausibly into their daily routines."
