About this listen
Saxford St Peter is having an open gardens day! But one of the villagers has murder, not marigolds, in mind… And now Eve Mallow needs to unearth a killer.
Everyone in Saxford is delighted when jeweller Cleo Marbeck suggests a prize for the village’s best garden. Flowers are planted, grass is cut, and the competition is on. But the event only digs up dirt… Twenty-five years ago, a young woman fell to her death in Cleo’s house, and rumours soon resurface about Cleo’s part in the tragedy.
Eve’s best friend Viv is hosting Stevie, her son’s fiancée, ahead of the wedding. On the open garden day, Stevie has a horrible flashback: the memory of a woman lying at the bottom of a staircase. But she sees it in a totally different house from the one where Honor died…
Hours later Cleo’s body is found, drowned in her own pond. Almost everyone in Saxford has been in and out of her garden, sowing suspicion everywhere. But Eve is convinced the flashback has triggered the crime… and when the police turn their sights on Stevie, she’ll have to work fast to solve the case and save the wedding.
So who wanted Cleo in the ground? The son of the woman who died, out for revenge? The employee passed over for promotion? Her long-term lover, who she refused to marry? And why do so many suspects live on Meadowsweet Grove?
When someone else takes a tumble downstairs, Eve knows she’s close to grubbing up the truth. But can she catch the killer or is she heading for a fatal fall?
A completely charming English cozy mystery, perfect for fans of Agatha Christie, Faith Martin and Sarah Yarwood-Lovett.

A bit disappointing
Never easy with a different narrator, but it wasn't too bad a shock. What I really find difficult was all the characters. I know I'm getting on a bit these days, but I really struggled to keep up and it spiked the pace as I was constantly trying to remember who was who, related to who and did what to who and when. I usually live this series so hope the cast is not half the village next time.

Lost track of all the characters
I usually love these stories, but have to agree with others, I completely lost track of who everyone was by the end of this one.

What happened?
I really like the Eve mallow series and have enjoyed every one. What happened this time is the biggest mystery of all - new narrator who was ok but preferred the old one - it was the story I didn’t like! There were far too many characters and it was hard to keep remembering how they all linked. Also the idea of the local garden group acting like a bunch of vigilantes was just silly! The whole story just dragged on and by the end I just wanted it to find out who did it and warn others don’t waste your credit- 8 hours of my life I can never get back!

Whatever happened to Eilidh Beaton?
Up until this book I’ve really enjoy the Eve mallow books.
It all started to go wrong for me having a new narrator! (I much preferred Eilidh Beaton), when voicing Eve her American accent was hit and miss. A lot of the time the accent didn’t kick in until she was half way through a sentence which only added to an already confusing plot line! So many characters it was hard to keep up with where they linked.
Also turning half the village into some sort of Scooby gang was a bit far fetched.
I really wanted to enjoy this book as I have all the others but it was almost like it was written by a different author trying to write in Clare Chases style. Hopefully normal service can be resumed in the next book.
