Betrayal in the Butterfly Garden
(2026)(The second book in the Nevermore Gardens Cozy Mysteries series)
A novel by Karen Sue Walker
She came to tend the gardens. She stayed to solve a murder.
Most people walk through a garden and see flowers. I hear the low hum of contentment from a well-pruned shrub and a pulse of distress from an oak tree whose roots have been disturbed. My neighbor thinks I'm simply intuitive. He has no idea.
When his butterfly garden is raided overnight and the rare eggs he's been protecting disappear with the plants, I start listening harder. Then someone dies, and the garden stops humming altogether. Every clue points somewhere the police refuse to look. And the raven who's been circling the overhead might know more than he can tell.
The canyon has its own way of telling the truth. I only have to trust what I'm hearing. Even the part about my missing husband that no one wants me to believe.
Betrayal in the Butterfly Garden, is a cozy mystery with light magical realism featuring a connection to the natural world and a mystery inside a mystery.
