A GARDEN OF GOOD AND EVIL In the cheerful community garden where struggling freelance writer Liz Sullivan grows her veggies, someone is raking up old, hurtful scandals. So when a dead body turns up in... This description may be from another edition of this product.
I enjoyed ths book very much. I found it easy to read and follow. I enjoyed the descriptions which were pleasing without excessive detail. The characters are interesting and believable; moreso than the crimes which are there but beside the point. A little too much politics woven into the story, but all in all a very good read. Well worth the money.
A treat

Murder Crops Up is the best yet in a very good mystery series. Liz Sullivan is a character of some depth - a formerly abused spouse who is slowly through the course of the series breaking down some of the walls of defense she's built around herself. Her neice Amy again comes to visit, and she is another character I enjoy very much. Roberts writes smoothly and with considerable wit, and the story moves along easily. A great read - and also a great gift for a mystery reader who enjoys gardening.
Finally a mystery with real life characters!

Got a hold of an advanced copy of this book and is the first one of her Liz Sullivan series that I've read. I loved her real life characters. Intriguing garden mystery that involves a free-lance writer trying too eek out a means of living as best as possible but at the same time meeting everyday life characters who are jealous, backstabbing, fru-fru, and murderous. Great to see a main character also who has the support of friends who are moms as well as older women. Happy to see a main character who also 'feels' rather than just being. A true multidimensional character. Also glad that the romance is kept to minimum, that women don't always need men to rescue them in whatever situation.
