A Body in the Backyard

The mix of lighthearted moments with darker crimes kept me hooked without feeling too heavy. I'm curious if that was a deliberate choice from the start or evolved naturally.

The close-knit relationships made the mystery feel personal, but also heightened the stakes. I wonder how much of the town's history influenced the story.

The garden setting added a unique touch to the mystery, making it feel fresh. I'm interested in whether the author has a personal connection to gardening or outdoor spaces.
