Summary
Poppy is settling into life in an English village and gaining some green fingers at last as she restores the beautiful cottage garden nursery she's inherited. When she meets a wealthy dog lover at the village fête and is hired to create a "canine scent garden", the future looks rosy...until the day ends with a vicious killing, and she finds herself spade-deep in a murder investigation once again.
Meanwhile, Einstein the terrier has fallen head-over-paws for a pampered poodle, and Poppy has her hands full keeping him out of trouble. With vandals attacking her cottage and orders for flowers flooding in, she barely has time for sleuthing! But when unexpected help comes from her mad scientist neighbor Bertie, as well as crime author Nick Forrest and his talkative cat Oren, Poppy is sure she's found the killer.
The only problem is - with false clues and suspects galore, could she be barking up the wrong tree?

Great series. Loads of fun.
A thoroughly enjoyable third book in the series.
The mystery had me guessing and I really enjoyed watching Poppy develop her business and become part of the community. I thought the idea of a scent garden for the dog was a cute and interesting idea.
I love the side characters in this series especially Bertie and Nick as well as their four legged friends.
This a fun series that gets better with every book.
I'm looking forward to reading book four.
I voluntarily reviewed an advance reading audio copy.

enjoyable but repetitive
works just like the previous one's, helps me chill out, and a tiny bit of suspense, but polly spends too much time over thinking! I love the characters though, berty, nick, Suzanne, and polly, nell, orin & Einstein especially, love the cat & and its antics! 😵💫

Silly, Soppy, Sweet.
Irresistible listening despite being daft. The characters are eccentric. The plots are unrealistic. The writing is annoying at times. But I am hooked.

Getting silly now
I’ve listened to the first 3 books in this series & although they are gentle & easy on the ear - thanks to the great narration of Pearl Hewitt - the stories are getting sillier. I specifically refer to Bertie & his stupid “inventions”. At first I found his eccentricity amusing but while listening to this book I found myself getting irritated with the ‘mechanical ants’ & ‘dog poo listening devices with authentic smell’.
Although I already purchased the 4th book in this series some time ago, I don’t think I’ll be buying any more.

just... please don't
I have now listened to THREE books in this series. Why I don't know.
My advice to you is simple. Please don't.
