A trip to the English countryside turns into a brush with death for Pru Parke, the only gardener whose holiday wouldn’t be complete without a murder to solve.

Pru and her husband, former Detective Chief Inspector
Christopher Pearse, are long overdue for a getaway. So when
Pru is invited to redesign an Arts and Crafts garden in the
picturesque Cotswolds, she and Christopher jump at the
chance. Unfortunately, their B&B is more ramshackle than
charming, and the once thriving garden, with its lovely
Thyme Walk, has fallen into heartbreaking neglect. With the
garden’s owner and designer, Batsford Bede, under the
weather, Pru tackles the renovation alone. But just as she’s
starting to make headway, she stumbles upon Batsford’s body
in the garden—dead and pinned beneath one of his limestone
statues.

With such a small police force in the area, Christopher is
called upon to lead the investigation. Pru can’t imagine
anyone murdering Batsford Bede, a gentle man who preferred
to spend his time in quiet contemplation, surrounded by
nature. But as her work on the garden turns up one ominous
clue after another, Pru discovers that the scenery is more
dangerous than she or Christopher could have anticipated.
