About this listen
Flowers, favors, and a cake with a body in it...what a way to start a wedding!
Diana already regrets saying yes to her neighbor's ridiculous wedding flower demands, but when she discovers a body in the middle of the multi-tiered centerpiece...it's really taking the cake!
The man in the cake has been murdered. Diana suspects that one of her neighbors may be the killer. And she already knows that some of them are keeping skeletons in their closets. Sometimes literally.
Murder would send most people running for the hills, but Diana has a blossoming business to think about. She needs to get to the bottom of her neighborhood's dark past, or her new cut flower business could suffer a blight!

Secrets don't stay buried with a gardener around
I enjoyed this book. Not being a big gardening fan I wasn't sure about this book but I have read some books from the authors other series, so thought I would give it ago. So glad I did because I actually enjoyed it and already have downloaded the next book. Not sure I would have acted the same way as the main character but it certainly made for an entertaining and unusual mystery. There was plenty of suspects and suspicious characters to keep you guessing. It was actually the characters that have me returning to the series because I liked the serious scientific approach provided by Diane and the quirky out there theories from sidekick Fergus. I can see the author having a lot of fun with these characters. The small town feel to the story is a perfect place for these two to investigate, joined by there four legged companions.
Diane wanting to help her new business make a good impression in the village decides to do that she needs to proved the flowers for her neighbours wedding. She regrets that decision after the bridzillia demands more and more and wishes something would go wrong to take the brides attention away from her. She never imagined that a dead man laying the wedding cake would be that distraction. The best man wasn't well liked and the police have lots of guests to accuse. Diane can't help but think it was more than just gambling dets. Especially when she and most of her neighbours fall victim to robberies where the thief doesn't steal anything. What is the thief looking for and is connected to the murder? When Diane makes a startling discovery left behind from the man she inherited the house from, things get more complicated and it's not just her neighbours who are keeping secrets that could crack this case wide open.
I liked the narrator. She helped the story flow by providing some great character voices.
