"The Garden Plot" is a fun and interesting murder mystery. Pru Parke, an American gardener, wants to find a permanent position and remain in England. She accepts the job of clearing neglected landscape and finds a body hidden in the vines. Her life suddenly becomes complicated. Pru finds herself caught up in the tangled lives of the people involved in the case as well as discovering a potential romantic interest. At times Pru comes across as an airhead and annoying, but you like her.The author provides little bits of English history and garden lore that is entertaining and a good background for the murder investigation. The writing style is just right and the story has plenty of appealing qualities though the ending seemed too rushed.This is definitely a title I would recommend to anyone who enjoys a fun and entertaining murder mystery.
