Cella Grant does not have time for another commitment. But when this charming botanist and amateur sleuth extraordinaire sees the disarray at Monk's Mead, the famous English garden designed by Gertrude Jekyll, she has no choice but to become its trustee.
She's undeniably intrigued. Why does this glorious garden suffer from such serious neglect? Beneath the untended flower beds, the brutally hacked tree, and the deformed and yellowed foliage lies a very untidy mystery.
It seems that old Mrs. Mortlake, the garden's owner, has recently passed away. Not unexpected for a woman of ninety, yet the coroner has given the case an "open" verdict--leaving doubt as to how the elderly woman got the overdose that killed her. Neighborhood gossips, however, are certain. They say that Lady Mary Lindsay killed her mother....
This is #3 in A Celia Grant Mystery.
