Budding sleuth Tory Benning has to overcome planted evidence and growing suspicions to save an innocent man from being framed . . .
Designing a community garden as part of a new condo project
seemed like a no-brainer to landscape architect Tory Benning, since it would
bring people together and enhance the environmental profile of the property.
But soon members of the garden begin squabbling and even leveling accusations
of sabotage against each other in a friendly growing competition. Then one of
the gardeners is found murdered at the grand opening, and Tory realizes she’ll
have to weed through some damning false evidence to help prove her implicated
friend is innocent.
It’s a daunting challenge given that her friend was seen
threatening the victim on live TV and all the clues point to him as the
culprit, but Tory is certain someone is behind a devious plot to set him up. As
she starts looking into the backgrounds of those closest to the victim, secrets
begin to emerge about marital infidelity, a sizable inheritance, and estranged
children. Fearful now that she might be going up against someone far more
cunning than a garden-variety killer, Tory will have to stand her ground to
bring the culprit to justice—and be careful not to dig her own grave . . .
