"To Celia Grant, struggling to hold on to her greenhouse business, Victor Stratton, seems too good to be true. Victor is a rich eccentric with grandiose plans for an Elizabethan garden to set offhis country estate. Just as she begins the garden's design, however, a murder takes place at the house, and she is dragooned into playing cat's paw for the Regional Crime Squad who suspect the Stratton menage with drug smuggling. Celia, as one might suspect, does not take all this lying down. She worms her Way into the house and strips away the false fronts that camouflage the family's real relationships, solving the murder(s) and saving her business at the same time. Fans of the smart, intrepid, and feisty take note." Reviewed by Daniel Weiss, Virginia Quarterly Review (Copyright 2006 Virginia Quarterly Review)
