TWO HEARTS
In
pursuit of a life long dream to be a master gardener in England Pru Parke finally
packed her bags and moved. She’s applied
for positon after position but so far nothing has quite come her way.
Well,
not exactly. There is the dead body she
finds while scoping out a Roman mosaic.
Despite not being too pleased about it, with little choice, she steps
aside while the police begin their investigation. Unable to help herself Pru starts digging for
more than ancient artefacts—she’s on the trail of a killer. And it’s not too long before the killer is
after Pru.
The
idea of a modern day cozy taking place in England and especially around those
gorgeous English gardens was intriguing to me and I didn’t hesitate to pick up
Marty Wingate’s THE GARDEN PLOT when I saw it for review. While I did enjoy the “rejection” letters
interspersed throughout the book it was for the most part a pretty dull
read. I never warmed up to Pru and her meddling
in the crime scene just seemed by rote.
I didn’t care all that much about the victim and wasn’t drawn into
looking for the killer myself.
Fans
of English gardens will probably enjoy this book. It just wasn’t my cup of tea.
This is an objective review and not an endorsement of
this book.
