Amazon Editorial Review:
Landscaping is Nina Quinn's business, but trouble seems to be her middle name. Saddled with a recently expelled, faithless local–cop husband, a teenaged terror of a stepson, and the yappiest, most unhousebreakable Chihuahua in captivity, Nina needs a respite –– and the backyard makeover she's undertaking for her sister Maria and Nate, Maria's fiance, may do the trick.
But, of course, Nate vanishes mysteriously, and Nina's gardening magic inadvertently turns up a corpse. And with a thief on the prowl who's preying on the neighborhood elderly, a suspicious Pandora's Box of a package arriving on her doorstep, and yet another body inconveniently turning up, Nina's going to have to dig into her community's dirtiest little secrets to regain her peace and sanity –– if she can manage to stay alive long enough to enjoy it.

Well, this was a nice surprise! I was expecting what I class as a "cosy-murder" mystery...something on the lines of Agatha Raisin where everything is nice & gentle but instead found it full of quirky characters that could be relations of Grandma Mazur!
I liked Nina's character & would be happy to read more of her adventures....can't say fairer than that!
Read as part of the 2010 ULTIMATE CHALLENGE - themed "WEAPON" read for June...well you can do some damage with a spade!!
& the 2010 REDUCE MT TBR Challenge (#52)
