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.
