An omnibus of novels by Maisy Marple
The Complete Flora's Garden Mysteries Collection
Welcome to Rosemere Harbor, where roses bloom year-round, Victorian charm meets coastal beauty, and Flora Greenfield can't help but stumble over bodies among the begonias. This delightful six-book collection follows the adventures of Flora "Flo" Greenfield, a self-taught gardener in her early fifties who runs Second Bloom, a combination plant shop and café that serves as the heart of this picturesque coastal town.
Known locally as the "Plant Whisperer" for her ability to revive even the most stubborn specimens, Flora possesses something far more valuable than a green thumb—an eye for detail honed by years of noticing the tiniest changes in her plants. When she discovers renowned garden critic Edmund Blackwood face-down in the prize rose garden with antique shears in his back, her observational skills catch details that Detective Basil Thornwood initially dismisses. But as bodies continue to crop up like weeds throughout the series, the skeptical detective comes to rely on Flora's botanical expertise and her unofficial intelligence network: the Garden Club.
From poisoned pastry chefs to wine critics crushed by barrels, from frozen holiday decorators to suffocated landscape architects, each mystery showcases Flora's unique ability to see what others miss. Whether she's identifying rare fungal strains, analyzing specialized fertilizers, or recognizing the pattern of left-handed pruning techniques, Flora approaches each case with the same practical wisdom passed down from her grandmother.
Supporting Flora in her adventures are the wonderfully eccentric residents of Rosemere Harbor, from Oakley Reed, the hardware store owner who carries a decades-long torch for Flora, to the Garden Club members who divide investigative duties with military precision. There's Jasper Brooks, Flora's café manager whose botanical desserts sometimes provide unexpected inspiration, and Willow Fern, her assistant manager who keeps Second Bloom thriving while Flora pursues justice.
Set against the backdrop of Rosemere Harbor's seasonal festivals and gardening competitions, these gentle mysteries blend humor, heart, and horticulture into stories that are as comforting as a cup of Flora's lavender tea. Free from graphic violence, profanity, or explicit content, they're perfect for readers who prefer their mysteries with plenty of plant puns, small-town charm, and the reassuring knowledge that in Flora's capable hands, justice will always bloom—even in the darkest soil.
