The Gardener's Plot by Deborah J. BenoitMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
A cute cozy with a murder of a different thread. Community gardening plots and community beautification are all pretty normal, but not a garden plot with a foot sticking out of it.
This is what I call a cozy with all of the normal “elements”. It has a female sleuth who has suffered a trauma, moves back to a small town, and meets a town cop. The cop happens to be a little of a bully though.
While this was enjoyable reading, it seemed slow at times. I think there were two reasons for that. Maggie’s friend Violet was missing almost immediately in the story and that seemed to go on most of the book and yet at times, it seemed forgotten. Even more unusual, we didn’t know who was on the other end of the dead foot in the garden plot til quite far into the story.
This is a debut book for Deborah Benoit. I hope it will not be her last.
