Nina Quinn's got her quirky side. She's imaginative. It's
not a bad trait to have when you're envisioning somebody's
Apollo-like landscape, but dangerous when your inquisitive
nature includes on investigating crimes and deaths.
Even though Nina knows she should ream Jean Claude up one
side and down the other for missing yet another employees'
meeting, she won't. She doesn't have the heart. Besides
she'd never find out why he's so tired. Do his late hours
mean he broken his parole? Her soft heart includes her soon
to be ex-husband, Detective Kevin Quinn. He is showing signs
that life isn't always greener on the other side of the bed,
especially when the woman you're leaving is the proprietor
of Taken by Surprise Garden Designs, and still houses your
teenage son under her roof.
Life is anything but boring if Nina has anything to say
about it. When her soon to be ex-husband's, former wife's
sister hires Taken by Surprise to landscape her yard, Nina
jumps at the chance to find out any incriminating
information on Kevin's first wife's death. But before she
can get past tilling the yard, the real owner shows up and
has a heart attack. The District Attorney is out to make
himself a name at Nina's expense and threatens to bring
charges up on her. Like any of this was her fault?
Her mother's answer to any woos is to remodel Nina's home,
but what starts out as just new bedcovers and a paint job,
becomes a nightmare of its own as one disaster after another
befalls her home.
The residents of Fallow Falls Homeowner's Association have
as many secrets as a cat has lives. There is a business
partnership that is anything but friendly. Don't forget
Nina's employees that may still have feet on both sides of
the law.
And if that don't beat all, Bobby McKenna, her new
boyfriend, has been offered a job as a principal of an
elementary school in Tampa Florida. It may solve her worries
about the financial loss of her company, but a move away
from everybody she knows is not want she wants, is it?
What's a girl to do?
There's more laughter, mayhem, and danger, but I don't want
to spoil it for you. DIGGING UP TROUBLE is one of those
books you'll enjoy at the park or on the beach. So take it,
read it, and thank me when you're done.
Landscaper Nina Quinn makes her living from surprise garden
makeovers. It's not her fault that someone duped her into
digging up the wrong yard. And she certainly can't be blamed
when her handiwork turns the unsuspecting real owner
apoplectic and he drops dead from a heart attack . . . can
she? Nina's got enough trouble already, with her divorce
from faithless hubby Kevin nearing completion and her unruly
stepson up to his teenage neck in possibly illegal mischief.
Now she's in danger of losing her business! But there's
something screwy about this rather convenient "accidental"
death of a man whom apparently no one could stand -- not
even the "grieving" widow who's threatening to sue Nina's
overalls off. To save her livelihood -- and her skin --
Nina's going to have to dig deeper into the dirt than she
ever has before ... and see what sort of slimy secret things
crawl out.
