reviewed on + 988 more book reviews


Miss Dittany Henbit was incensed when a strange young man from the Water Department ran a bulldozer over the Enchanted Mountain's lovely wildflower preserve. No construction was permitted on the prime public land ... but then neither was murder. While the Spotted Pipsissewa was being carelessly crushed, someone was putting a hunting arrow through the Water Commissioner's heart. And Dittany found even her best friends, the members of the Grub-and-Stake Gardening and Roving Club were suspect. Especially when a bake sale cooked up big trouble and a Lobelia Falls election mixed all the ingredients of a sticky solution with very sudden death.

This is a wild crowd of bold and quirky personalities, improbable situations and it all works to create a great story.
