With the Garrison twins away on a sunny Cabo getaway,
Mrs. Whitcombe is left in charge of the Willowrose Inn—and preparing her beloved roses for Turtle Cove’s Best Garden competition.
But when Charles Penhaligon, the persnickety Garden Club judge, is discovered dead among the begonias,
the contest takes a decidedly deadly turn.
Armed with her sharp wit and accompanied by Rocky, the ever-curious beagle with a nose for trouble,
Mrs. Whitcombe digs into a tangle of rival gardeners, whispered feuds, and quirky Turtle Cove secrets.
After all, in a town where the roses aren’t the only things with thorns, it will take more than a green thumb to catch a killer.
Can Mrs. Whitcombe and Rocky unravel the mystery before someone else gets clipped?
