A Meadowood Gardens Mystery, Book 1
The beauty and peace of Meadowwood Gardens—a historic botanical garden on Maryland’s Eastern Shore—are shattered by murder.
Marigold “Mari” Saille, a recent Gardens graduate student, is led to the body of a visiting professor by an insistent—and unusually helpful—garden cat named Nepeta. When suspicion falls on Dr. Arthur Knight, Mari’s mentor and close family friend, she’s determined to prove his innocence.
Ignoring warnings from the police and facing threats of her own, Mari races against time to uncover the truth before the killer strikes again. With a charming garden setting, a curious cat, and a mystery rooted in secrets long buried, Half Past Death introduces a cozy new series where danger blooms among the flowers.
