Larkspur Hollow Garden Club Mysteries · Book Two
The Bitter Berry
When the town's returning golden boy, Preston Hartwell, turns up dead at the height of the summer Strawberry Social, the Larkspur Hollow Garden Club has more than prize berries to worry about. Everyone calls it a tragedy — a good heart giving out in the heat — but retired schoolteacher Nell Ashworth calls it murder. Somewhere among the tents, the preserves, and the village's long-kept secrets, one of six neighbors is a killer — and the clues are hidden in the puzzle pages, waiting for you to find them.
