She’s returned to her old stomping ground and everything’s the same… except for the flowerbed adorned with a dead body.
Chloe Carson has no clue what’s next. Starting life from scratch after her husband’s passing, the sixty-year-old is back in her hometown to ready the family’s treehouse hotel for sale. But her six-month commitment heads into the weeds when the ornery garden club president is found pushing up daisies in her prized peony patch.
With her aging mom and bff topping the list of suspects, Chloe rolls up her sleeves and works alongside her rescued cocker spaniel to clear their names. But between prickly gossip, her triplet sisters, and a puzzling case of blackmail, the strong-willed widow fears she may never leave this small town again.
Can Chloe dig everyone out of a precarious plot before the real killer flees to greener pastures?

About the author
Sue Hollowell
Hello from the cozy corners of my imagination! If we were meeting in person, you'd probably find me offering you a slice of cake, extra frosting, because life's too short!
I craft twisty tales with quirky characters, picturesque small towns, and enough red herrings to stock a fish market. My stories blend mystery and mirth, with a dash of romance and plenty of fur-baby shenanigans.
If you like your murders with giggles, sleuths with razor-sharp wit, and surprising plot twists—dive into one of my books. Warning: may cause cravings for homemade cookies and the urge to adopt a mischievous pet.View all audiobooks by Sue Hollowell
