Larkspur Hollow Garden Club Mysteries · Book Six
The Bruised Bud
Larkspur Hollow turns two hundred and fifty this spring, and the Garden Club has spent a year building an anniversary Flower Show worth the number — tents on the green, bunting strung to the church, half the valley in its good coat. Then Margot Hartwell walks out in front of hundreds of people, says something no two witnesses will ever repeat the same way, and dies on the grass where everybody can see her. The whole village was watching. Not one person saw a thing. And nobody can say where Margot spent the twenty minutes before she came out. The clues are hidden in the puzzle pages, waiting for you to find them.
