Murder in the Garden- Faith Martin- 4*
Another highly enjoyable read with DI Hillary Greene at the helm. At the end of the last
book Superintendent Mallow was shot on the steps of the police station after a sniper
had been caught a few weeks beforehand. This book starts with DI Hillary Greene’s
return to work. An elderly man has been found dead in his garden, having been hit
over the head with his garden spade. He had no enemies and his only adversary of
sorts was over how successful his plants and vegetables were. Meanwhile Mallow’s
widow and previous sargent to Hillary, Janine, is pregnant and not happy with how
the investigation into his death is progressing- or not. Now a DI she wants to step
in and get things moving. As ever Faith gives the reader wonderful characters and
a good solid story line- or two in this case. I enjoy following Hillary’s career and
the murders she solves. Remind me never to retire to Oxfordshire!
