Murder in Season by Rosie Sandler

Hello my cozy friends,

Today I am reviewing "Murder in Season” the 5th instalment in The Gardener Mystery series by Rosie Sandler set across England.  This time we are in the Essex.

The past can't stay buried forever...

Steph Williams and her inimitable dog Mouse are in picture-perfect 
Greenhaven, Essex - an Art Deco village built for factory workers in the 1920s. Tasked with designing a Centenary Garden, Steph is about to dig up more history than she bargained for. 

Because Greenhaven's charm hides more than a few tangled roots. From the poison pen of the Green Raven to the prickly Heritage Society, village gossip, rivalries and resentments run as wild as the weeds Steph's here to tame.

And when Steph's digger turns up two skeletons, she knows her project could be at the root of it all. But she'll have to tread carefully in this closed community, where everyone has something to hide.

When a fresh body shocks the village, it seems that murder is in season at Greenhaven. Can Steph unearth the truth before the killer decides she's dug too deep?

Gardener-turned-amateur-sleuth, Steph Williams finds herself pruning suspects instead of roses in this charming and unputdownable cosy crime novel. Perfect for fans of Fiona Leitch, M.C. Beaton and Richard Osman!

I enjoyed this story. As I have stated previously, I really like the bond between Steph and Mouse, but in this instalment I love the bond that forms between Steph and Nellie.  I hope Nellie pops up on further stories.  

The mystery is interesting and well plotted, and had plenty of twists to keep you engaged right to the very end..     

I recommend this book to all my cozy lover friends. I can’t wait for book 6!
