by **Katie Gayle** (Author)

**Julia loves donning her gardening gloves for the first blooms of spring. But when out working in the local wildflower meadow, she does not expect to find a dead body...!**

Spring has come to Berrywick, and **Julia Bird** is determined to enjoy the fine weather. But not all life is in flower when she stumbles across the body of building expert **Basil Crow** next to a bright yellow digger. And Julia believes this is no accident.

Julia's suspicions are confirmed when forensics report a brutal blow to the head. Julia soon learns from pie shop owner, and Basil's first wife **Delilah**, that he was not widely liked and left behind three failed marriages. Could one of his ex-wives have wanted revenge? Julia's friend **Tabitha** was in a neighbourly dispute with him after he blocked her car in her driveway. But is this motive enough to kill?

Then local choir singer **Esmeralda** is found dead in the woods. The police think the murders are unconnected. Unlike Basil, Esmeralda was a well-loved soul. Who would want her dead? Digging for clues, Julia realises that both victims had a link to the proposed redevelopment of the meadow Basil was found in. But would someone really kill to save it? **Can Julia find the murderer before someone else is pushing up the daisies?**

**A page-turning and totally charming cozy mystery set in the English countryside. Fans of M.C. Beaton, Faith Martin and Betty Rowlands will love the Julia Bird Mysteries!**
