A fun read, especially for gardeners

If you are in the mood for a light hearted mystery that is fun and full of gardening tips, then this is for you. Ripley goes along at a leisurly rate (the murder does not occur until around page 100) but her characters are interesting and fun. Every third chapter or so, there is a small gardening essay covering various topics such as composting, organic pest controls, roses, etc. If you are not into gardening, you can skip these because they are essentially unrelated to the plot.

In the 2nd edition she has added witty gardening tips

I really enjoyed Ann Ripley's Mulch, especially the second edition in which she has added gardening essays a la Death of a Political Plant, her most recent mystery. Beautifully written!
