Murder Amongst the Roses

 

Murder Amongst the Roses by Liz Fielding - Crime

Abby is a gardener and is working on her soon to be ex-husband Howard’s garden when she finds human remains- what looks to be a baby from many years before hand. Her ex who now has a pregnant girlfriend has coerced her into doing the work free of charge so that their son can go on a school trip- something Abby has funded via a family heirloom of his and given back. In the supermarket she bumps into an old school friend Jake who was friends of both her and her husband back in the day, who has now returned to the village. When Howard returns back from his trip with his fiancée, his temper is short on several matters. Shortly afterwards Abby finds him kneeling near the site where she found the bones. On approaching him she finds his throat has been slashed and her spade is lying nearby. There are several people who could have wanted Howard out of the way but who and is this linked to the baby bones?

I really enjoyed this- it's an easy read with some very likeable characters. I quickly took to Abby and Jake and against the very manipulative Howard. There is a wonderful plot line and the pages turned very easily. A wonderful, interesting read that kept me hooked.

DISCOVER YOUR NEW FAVOURITE COZY MURDER MYSTERY

In the peaceful village of Maybridge, you wouldn’t expect to find a dead body

in the rose garden. And certainly not two. Abby Finch is horrified to discover

the bones of a baby long-since buried under a rose bush in the garden of her

soon-to-be ex-husband Howard’s family home. She immediately calls the police

but she can’t get hold of Howard. He’s off on a jolly with the very pregnant

soon-to-be new Mrs Finch. Abby will do whatever it takes to keep things cordial

for the sake of her three children. But when Howard learns the press

have found out, he’s livid. He accuses Abby of sabotaging his fledgling political

campaign. And then, just two days later, Abby finds Howard himself. Lying

dead in the very same rose garden. Throat slashed with her own garden

spade. Now Abby is the prime suspect. Somebody in this quiet village is hiding

a dark secret. And Abby will have to dig deep to uncover the truth.
