As part of her Aunt Flora’s legacy. But just as her chance at a prize seems within reach, disaster strikes when local gardener Rupert Dyer is found dead. The village quickly descends, into a flurry of rumors, and suspicion falls on Lily.
Determined to clear her name and protect The Garden Gate, her beloved greenhouse, Lily sets out to uncover the truth along with the truth of her beloved Aunt Flora’s death.

As Lily digs deeper, she discovers that Rupert’s death might be rooted in far more than petty jealousy—and she may have uncovered a mystery more dangerous than she ever expected.
With only her wits, green thumb, and loyal golden retriever, Basil, and best friend Martha, by her side, Lily must navigate a world of dark secrets and deceit if she hopes to clear her name. Will she solve the mystery before someone else uproots her future for good?
