Another remarkable story and work of art in the series. It was such an easy and delightful read. I just couldn't put the book down. The characters, as always, were perfect. Such a joy to see everything come together for the wonderful set of characters as the story wrapped up. Very touching!

This is another exciting book in the Potting Shed mysteries (book #7). Pru temporarily replaces a gardener who quit at a local private garden. She is very excited to finally see the gardens and Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream is going to be performed there! One of the performers is found dead, but is it an accident or murder? It is an exciting mystery with a lot of potential suspects. At times it is a little tough to keep track of all of the names but the author does a good job. If you like Shakespeare and want an exciting cozy mystery, then you will love this book!

This is a delightful addition to a charming mystery series featuring Prue Parke, an American professional gardener now living in England with her police detective husband Christopher. Prue is asked to take over the set decoration for a production of Shakespeare's Midsummer Night's Dream at a neighboring estate, one which has always been closed to the public and Prue has always longed to see its gardens. Once again a murder takes place on Prue's turf, when Gabriel Gibb, the actor playing Lysander who was a known womanizer is found in a locked room having been stung by numerous bees. With Christopher heading up the investigation and Prue on the scene to ingratiate herself with the cast members who are possible suspects, the due once again is able to figure out who was responsible for the death of the actor. This is a wonderful story filled with interesting, intelligent characters, lots of plant knowledge and the added bonus of some Shakespeare. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
