Saxford St Peter is having an open gardens day! But one of the villagers has murder not marigolds in mind... And now Eve Mallow needs to unearth a killer. Everyone in Saxford is delighted when jeweller Cleo Marbeck suggests a prize for the village's best garden. Flowers are planted, grass is cut, and the competition is on. But the event only digs up dirt... Twenty-five years ago, a young woman fell to her death in Cleo's house, and rumours soon resurface about Cleo's part in the tragedy. Eve's best friend Viv is hosting Stevie, her son's fiancée, ahead of the wedding. On the open garden day, Stevie has a horrible flashback: the memory of a woman lying at the bottom of a staircase. But she sees it in a totally different house from the one where Honor died... Hours later Cleo's body is found, drowned in her own pond. Almost everyone in Saxford has been in and out of her garden, sowing suspicion everywhere. But Eve is convinced the flashback has triggered the crime... and when the police turn their sights on Stevie, she'll have to work fast to solve the case and save the wedding. So who wanted Cleo in the ground? The son of the woman who died, out for revenge? The employee passed over for promotion? Her long-term lover, who she refused to marry? And why do so many suspects live on Meadowsweet Grove? When someone else takes a tumble downstairs, Eve knows she's close to grubbing up the truth. But can she catch the killer or is she heading for a fatal fall? A page-turning and completely charming English cozy mystery, perfect for fans of Agatha Christie, Faith Martin and Sarah Yarwood-Lovett.
