Garden Mystery Book & Garden Glove Give Away!
Category: Presenting "The Curious Gardener"
We have two paperback copies of Rosemary Harris’ Pushing Up Daisies to give away, along with a pair of Womanswork nitrile weeding gloves. Pushing Up Daisies is Rosemary’s first novel, and it won her the “Anthony and Agatha” nomination for best first novel. This week she launches her third book, Dead Head, published by St. Martin’s Minotaur imprint. I read it this weekend and it is as much fun as the first two were. Her books fit into the category of cozy mysteries. I found this definition at suite101.com. “Cozies are the kind of stories one might read while curled up on the couch with a cup of tea.” There’s no gore or gratuitous violence.
The main character in Rosemary Harris’ “Dirty Business” series is Paula Holliday, a cheeky 40-something woman, newly single and launching a landscaping business in a small town in Connecticut after being downsized from her big city career in video production. It turns out she has a knack for getting to the bottom of things, and finds herself at the center of a whodunnit in every plotline. Her landscaping business figures in her stories, which makes it a bonus for gardeners to read.
Reading either of those mysteries would be a perfect way to relax after a day of gardening. I can picture it now: sitting on the deck under the awning in a comfy lounge chair with a glass of minty iced tea and some lemon cookies! (My glove size is Large.)
Thank you Heather! I agree that it would be a nice relaxing way to spend the day, after gardening.
Count me in! I wear a medium.
