A body in the dahlias, a southern belle with dirt on her hands, and a handsome sheriff who’s more thorns than roses.
Ruby Hartwell knows her way around blooms and backyards, not bodies. But when she stumbles, literally, into a murder scene, her freedom is soon on the line.
Elliot Thatcher, town grump and recent antagonist of Ruby’s, is dead. Now she’s a suspect and Ruby must find the real killer before she ends up behind bars.
Armed with nothing but stubborn grit, her quirky pals, and a mutt named Moxie, Ruby gets tangled up in a mess of trouble. Everyone has secrets in this small town, and someone is hiding the truth.
Could it be the victim’s estranged ex-wife, Clara, who resented his manipulation and cheating? Then again, there’s Harold Jenkins, resident conspiracy theorist and part-time beekeeper, who had his own personal beef with Elliot. Or perhaps suspicion should fall on Honeybell Crowder, Pinewood’s own local celebrant, whose land disputes with the victim are well known.
With time slipping away, Ruby must uncover the truth and clear her name before the real killer strikes again.
Genre: Cozy Mystery
