Owner of The Potting Shed, Peggy Lee, leads a pretty interesting life. She's solved a few murders in her time, and helps the police force on-and-off, not to mention being a lecturer at the local university. So when murdered victims start turning up being poisoned by poisonous plants, the police call on Peggy to help them find a killer. However, Peggy is starting to think the murderer is playing games with her when the victims bear the same name as her police officer husband, who died on the job.This was my first reading of the Peggy Lee Garden Mysteries, and with this novella I feel caught up on the series. The reader gets to know a little about Peggy and her new husband, Steve, and her son, Paul, and her daughter-in-law, Mai. It's a great introduction and has got me thoroughly enthused for the next release, A Thyme to Die.Even though I have a blacker than black thumb, I enjoyed the gardening aspect and learning about new things about the plants I already know, and the recipes at the end of the book are to die for.I thoroughly enjoyed this novella, and given the "cliffhanger-ish" ending, I can't wait to read A Thyme to Die.
