Murder Bears Fruit

Able to cherry pick her gardening projects after all her recent success, Steph Williams arrives at a luxury hotel in the Yorkshire moors with her beloved dog Mouse. She has been tasked with bringing the outdated gardens into line with the hotel's sleek and glassy new guise, and can't wait to dig in. But, before Steph can enjoy the fruits of her labour, she makes a shocking discovery in the hotel's pool: a body, fanned by a beautiful evening dress, floating beneath the stars. As she rushes into the scene, Steph realises this is no common-or-garden accident. When a surprising arrest is made, she will have to dig deep to ensure the police have the real killer. But Steph's missing ex husband proves a thorn in her side, as ever: turning up very much alive, and urgently needing her help. Will Steph be able to find the murderer, and the missing rubies, and come up smelling of roses? For fans of Richard Coles, Sarah Yarwood-Lovett, and Fiona Leitch, this a delightfully witty and gripping cosy crime novel where the stakes are high, the gardens are lush, and murder is always in season.
