About the book:
Bestselling author
Marty Wingate “plants clever clues with a dash of romantic spice,” raves Mary
Daheim. Now Wingate’s inimitable gardening heroine, Pru Parke, is importing a
precious bloom from Texas—and she won’t let a vicious murder stop her.
Pru’s life
in England is coming full circle. A Texas transplant, she’s married to the love
of her life, thriving in the plum gardening position she shares with her
long-lost brother, and prepping a Chelsea Flower Show exhibit featuring the
beloved bluebonnets of the Texas hill country. Technically, Twyla Woodford, the
president of a gardening club in the Lone Star State, is in charge of the
London event, but Pru seems to be the one getting her hands dirty. When they
finally do meet, Pru senses a kindred spirit—until Twyla turns up dead.
Although
Twyla’s body was half buried under a wall in their display, Pru remains
determined to mount a spectacular show. Twyla would have insisted. So Pru
recruits her husband, former Detective Chief Inspector Christopher Pearse, to
go undercover and do a bit of unofficial digging into Twyla’s final hours. If
Pru has anything to say about it, this killer is going to learn the hard way
not to mess with Texas.

I lived in El Paso a while - a far off tiny corner of the state!
DeleteDelightred to have been with Marty sometimes when she's squirreling away nuggets which appear in her books at a later date :)
ReplyDeleteI actually have the first book in this series on my wish list, but I'd never even heard of your other series, Marty, I will look for it next! p.s. I love that you lead garden tours!
