#Free4All Weekend off to England for a gardening cozy
In Marty Wingate’s charming new Potting Shed Mystery,
Texas transplant Pru Parke’s restoration of a historic
landscape in England is uprooted by an ax murderer.
Pru Parke has her dream job: head gardener at an
eighteenth-century manor house in Sussex. The landscape for
Primrose House was laid out in 1806 by renowned designer
Humphry Repton in one of his meticulously illustrated Red
Books, and the new owners want Pru to restore the estate to
its former glory—quickly, as they’re planning to showcase it
in less than a year at a summer party. But
life gets in the way of the best laid plans: When not being
happily distracted by the romantic attentions of the
handsome Inspector Christopher Pearse, Pru is digging into
the mystery of her own British roots. Still, she manages to
make considerable progress on the vast grounds—until vandals
wreak havoc on each of her projects. Then, to her horror,
one of her workers is found murdered among the yews. The
police have a suspect, but Pru is certain they’re wrong.
Once again, Pru finds herself entangled in a thicket of evil
intentions—and her, without a hatchet.
