Gardener's Greenhouse

Can Hillary get poor strong willed, yet sweet old Rose out of the line of (literal) fire, or will she and everyone's lives and businesses go up in flames?It's getting hot in Rosemary Harbor, Massachusetts.  But not because it's Summer time.There's been a fire at a popular bookstore, and Genevieve Hardcore, the store's owner and a beloved local denizen with more than a few foes, was caught in the fiery blaze....Looks like another hot case for amateur super sleuth, Hillary Sheridan-if Rosemary Harbor police chief Preston Holden doesn't cool her tracks, first.But Hillary has more than a good enough reason to stick her irons in the fire: her building's landlord (and Hillary's good friend), Rose Humbert, has just become Suspect #1 in the case for many reasons, including a very dubious history she has, one that puts her in hot water now.This cozy mystery is a clean read: no graphic violence, sex, or strong language. It can be read in one to two hours. It is perfect for those moments when you are waiting at an appointment or want to enjoy a quick read.
