Digging Her Own Grave

Landscaper Nina Quinn makes her living from surprise garden makeovers. It''s not her fault that someone duped her into digging up the wrong yard. And she certainly can''t be blamed when her handiwork turns the unsuspecting real owner apoplectic and he drops dead from a heart attack . . . can she? Nina''s got enough trouble already, with her divorce from faithless hubby Kevin nearing completion and her unruly stepson up to his teenage neck in possibly illegal mischief. Now she''s in danger of losing her business! But there''s something screwy about this rather convenient "accidental" death of a man whom apparently no one could stand -- not even the "grieving" widow who''s threatening to sue Nina''s overalls off. To save her livelihood -- and her skin -- Nina''s going to have to dig deeper into the dirt than she ever has before . . . and see what sort of slimy secret things crawl out.

A local landscaper finds herself in the weeds of multiple murder investigations as this cozy mystery series continues. When a TV producer is accused of sexual harassment, Nina Quinn and her boyfriend Bobby are roped into a scheme to catch him in the act. But appearing on his reality show leads to more drama than they expect when the producer turns up dead. Meanwhile, the sudden death of Nina’s kindly neighbor unearths the gambling den she’s been running out of her home! With murder and vice around every corner, Nina barely has time to keep her mind on her current project—installing an indoor garden at a local nursing home. It will take some expert juggling, as well as some undercover snooping, for Nina to save the day and restore some order to her always–tumultuous life!

A landscaper with a knack for unearthing the truth is out to catch a killer and clear her friend’s name in this cozy mystery. Landscaper Nina Quinn would do anything for her employees. After all, her garden makeover business wouldn’t be blooming if it weren’t for them. So when Kit Pipe, her right-hand handyman, goes missing, Nina immediately starts digging into his disappearance. But all she finds is Kit’s recent ex, Daisy Bedinghaus—and she’s dead as dirt. With a criminal past and a clear motive, Kit is the prime suspect in Daisy’s murder. But Nina’s determined to prove his innocence. After all, it’ll get her out of the house, where her ex-husband the cop is recovering from a gunshot wound and her thorny new stepson is giving her the evil eye. But the cold shoulder Nina gets at home is about to feel downright cozy compared to the real killer’s ice-cold stare.
