Description
Steph is excited to get her hands stuck into her latest gardening project. This time, she's been commissioned by Lady Clara of Ashford Manor to restore the stately gardens to their former glory.
But the estate is suddenly thrown into chaos when a dead body is discovered in one of the rooms. The police rule it as suicide, though Steph's convinced they're barking up the wrong tree. Because she knows the deceased better than they do and it could only be one thing: murder. And if the police won't listen to her, then Steph will have to get to the bottom of the case herself.
As Steph starts digging for the truth, it seems the staff are hiding are more than it seems. But one thing is for sure, she's not going to let the killer lead her up the garden path...

#MurderTakesRoot #NetGalley is the second book in The Gardener Mysteries by Rosie Sandler.
As Steph and her dog, Mouse prepare for their next gardening job, she hopes to avoid another murder investigation this time.
Unfortunately, Steph finds herself involved in another murder, this time the victim is a sweet young man, and for some reason, she can't let his death go unsolved.
Working with Lady Clara and her colorful family leads Steph to uncover clues, and slowly she begins to put the pieces together.
This book is wonderful, I enjoyed reading it, especially the parts with Uncle Angus and Mouse's companion, Belle.
Steph is a good character and I'm looking forward to reading the next book in this series.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for selecting me to read an advanced copy of the book.

Gardener Steph (and her dog Mouse, of course) has been commissioned to restore the historic gardens of Ashford Manor to their former glory. Not that her appointment has put the resident head gardener's nose out of joint...
But the estate is in turmoil when a body is discovered in one of the rooms. The police decide it's suicide, but Steph (knowing the deceased better than they do) knows it's murder.
More than one member of staff is hiding something though...
Excellent - can't wait for the next addition to the series

Murder? Murder takes root...this title is intriguing...a story of murder and mayhem...secrets and lies...deception...trying to discern the ending is not an easy task. This talented author has given us an afternoon of enjoyment while reading this novel. Curl up in a cozy chair...grab a warm blanket...start a blazing fire...get that cup of steaming herbal tea...be transported to the world of the rich and not so rich...garden with the protagonist...all while murder does indeed take root. Thanks Netgalley.
