Community Garden Murder
(2026)(The fourth book in the Perennial Sleuth Mystery series)
A novel by Tansy Blackwood
One dead garden coordinator.
One routine herb pickup.
And a crime someone is desperate to pass off as an accident.
Fiona Firth stops by Seacliff Springs’ community garden every Tuesday morning for fresh herbs. Finding Clara Pemberton dead among the rosemary beds turns a familiar routine into a nightmare.
The explanation is convenient.
A fall. An accident. Case closed.
But the garden tells a different story.
Missing tools. Broken stems. Disturbed soil. And Clara’s final notes suggest she wasn’t just tending plants. She was closing in on someone who’d been stealing from the garden for months.
A blocked promotion.
A threatened business.
And a secret that was never meant to surface.
As Fiona follows a trail of quiet thefts and carefully staged evidence, she realizes someone didn’t just kill Clara. They’re counting on the truth staying buried.
This time, the clues aren’t just in what people say.
They’re in what the plants remember.
Genre: Cozy Mystery
