Every garden has roots. Some have bones.

When eccentric Virginia Winthrop dies and leaves her grand estate and historic gardens to our town, I expect the first meeting of the Thornhollow Garden Society to involve flowers, finger sandwiches, and at least one woman with strong opinions about mulch.

I do not expect my mother to dig up a body.

Now, a frightened ghost is appearing among the flowerbeds and needs my help to solve her murder. As I follow a trail of romantic flower meanings, coded messages hidden in seed catalogs, and a dangerous Winthrop family secret, I realize this murder is rooted in more than scandal.

And if I’m not careful, someone will plant me six feet under to keep it buried.

Murder & Marigolds is a Southern ghost cozy mystery blooming with garden club drama, old family secrets, and one very inconvenient skeleton. Click now to help Ava solve the mystery!
