Meet Prunella ‘Pru’ Parke, an American gardener who digs up murder and mystery wherever she goes.

Rosemary, lavender — and a dash of revenge! The perfect murder is brewing in Pru’s sleepy little village.

Herbalist Acantha Morris has big plans for the local hospital. Its grounds will make the most peaceful, healing herb garden. Pru jumps at the chance to lend a hand. But things soon take a sinister turn . . .

Flamboyant entrepreneur Claudia Temple is found dead. Dangling from the end of her own beautiful red scarf.

She’d only just promised Acantha a princely sum to make her dream come true. Now everyone is saying she took her own life. But Pru’s not so sure.

Something about this death leaves a bad taste in her mouth.

When Claudia’s estranged son comes calling, Pru can’t help but be pulled into the mystery. But she’s up against a devious adversary.

What if the killer’s leading her up the garden path and into danger?
