About the book
It's just another typical day for octogenarian detective Myrtle Clover, until her gardener makes a shocking discovery - a dead body hidden in her garden. This murder is far from simple - the victim was fatally struck on the head with one of Myrtle's beloved garden gnomes.
Myrtle's friend Miles identifies the deceased as Charles Clayborne, a cousin he reluctantly acknowledges. Charles was not exactly a model family member - he had a shady reputation, making him a likely target for foul play. As Myrtle delves into the mystery to uncover the truth, someone is determined to deter her investigation. Myrtle is determined to solve the case and catch the killer, before she becomes the next victim.
