Overview
A new garden shop, a quiet mountain town… and sabotage that could turn deadly.
Sue Jaworski has big hopes for Butterflies and Blooms, her new garden shop in the mountain town of Aspen Notch. Housed in the same historical cabin that once held a beloved local candy store, Sue dreams of building something just as cherished by the town’s tight-knit community.
But when a series of unsettling incidents disrupts the shop—escalating from minor mischief to full-blown vandalism—those dreams start to wither. Then food poisoning sweeps through town, and health officials point to Sue’s shop as the source. Now, it’s clear someone wants her shut down for good—but why?
While her husband Alan, the town’s police chief, works other cases, Sue draws on her instincts—and his backup—to connect the dots. As long-buried tensions in Aspen Notch begin to surface, the couple must uncover the truth before the attacks turn more dangerous.
The second in the Aspen Notch Mystery Series, The Garden Shop Mystery is a wholesome cozy mystery with endearing characters and a satisfying whodunnit at its heart. If you enjoy Betty Rowlands, Murder, She Wrote, or the classic charm of Nancy Drew, you’ll feel right at home in Aspen Notch.
