Synopsis

Book 3: Lovely Lethal Gardens
Riches to rags. … Chaos calms. … Crime quiets. … But does it really?
After getting involved in two murder cases in the short time she’s lived in picturesque Kelowna, divorcee and gardener Doreen Montgomery has developed a reputation almost as notorious as her Nan’s. The only way to stop people from speculating, is to live a life of unrelieved boredom until the media and the neighbors forget about her. And Doreen aims to do just that with a tour of Kelowna’s famed Carnation Gardens. Plants, more plants, and nothing whatsoever that anyone could object to.
But when she sees a fight between a beautiful young woman and her boyfriend, she can’t help but be concerned. Concerned enough that she follows the couple out of the parking lot and through town. And when gunshots interrupt the placid afternoon, it’s too late to worry about how her nemesis, Corporal Mack Moreau, will feel about her getting involved in yet another of his cases.
With bodies turning up in the carnations, and a connection to a cold case of a missing child from long ago, Doreen has her hands full, not least with trying to keep her involvement in the investigations a secret from her Nan, Mack Moreau, and especially the media. But someone’s keeping up with Doreen’s doings… and that someone can’t afford for her to find the answers to the questions she’s asking.

This series gets better with each book! I love Doreen's personality and how she has become attached to her menagerie although she had Mugs when she inherited the other two.

This one definitely my fav so far from this Lovely Lethal Gardens series. More mystery and it feels more emotional somehow. By now I can't not rooting for Doreen's happiness, the more I know her the more I became a big fan, I getting used to her antics, her quirkiness is what makes her Doreen. I Love t......more

Goodreads review by Carol on February 07, 2019

After the first two books where bones were found buried in gardens, I started to wonder how so many bones could be found buried in the gardens of one town. This book changed it up a bit. Mack starts out thinking about having Doreen help with a cold case, but before they can focus on the cold case, D......more
