Landscaping is Nina Quinn's business, but trouble seems to
be her middle name. Saddled with a recently expelled,
faithless local-cop husband, a teenaged terror of a stepson,
and the yappiest, most unhousebreakable Chihuahua in
captivity, Nina needs a respite -- and the backyard makeover
she's undertaking for her sister Maria and Nate, Maria's
fiancé, may do the trick.
But, of course, Nate vanishes mysteriously, and Nina's
gardening magic inadvertently turns up a corpse. And with a
thief on the prowl who's preying on the neighborhood
elderly, a suspicious Pandora's Box of a package arriving on
her doorstep, and yet another body inconveniently turning
up, Nina's going to have to dig into her community's
dirtiest little secrets to regain her peace and sanity -- if
she can manage to stay alive long enough to enjoy it.
