    About this series

    Louise Eldridge is taking her popular television show, GARDENING WITH NATURE, on location to film a garden tour at the historic Litchfield Falls Inn. It’s a weekend in the country that promises rest, relaxation, and some of New England’s most beautiful gardens. But the grapevine whispers of warring lovers, botanical scams, academic scandal, and family finagling. The tension is so thick you can hardly cut it with a scythe. And then the uneasy group of assembled guests begin to meet with the most unfortunate of accidents. Louise suspects that someone is playing Grim Reaper in the Litchfield Falls paradise.

      Investigative journalist Jay McCormick is on a secret assignment in the Washington D.C. area. But he also takes time to visit his old flame Louise Eldridge. His visit is cut short when he surfaces as a corpse in a neighbor's fish pond. Louise wants to know who put him there? And what was the mysterious story he was investigating in D.C.? Only Louise can unearth the trail that leads from a missing computer to a pistolpacking intruder trampling her purplespotted toad lilies. Soon she's digging up enough dirt to uproot some of Washington's top players...if she doesn't get herself nipped in the bud first!

She has cultivated a controversial organic gardening approach that delights environmentalist viewers and alarms chemicalusing traditionalists, drawing swarms of protesters, mounds of nasty mail, and absolutely fabulous ratings. But the bloom of success fades suddenly when the society maven that Louise replaced, violently turns on her and picks a fight in the studio. Later when she winds up dead, poisoned by pesticides, Louise is suspect number one. In trying to clear herself, Louise finds the police and the murderer hot on her trail. And if she isn't careful, she could end up planted sixfeet under...
