Murder in the Garden by Faith MartinMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Weeding Onions Might Kill You!
Last book ended with the sniper killing of Mel Mal low in the HQ parking lot. Hillary was at his side as he fell. Several months later she is back on the job. A crew from the Met in partnership with another bunch from a neighboring nick are keeping tabs on the chief suspect and Hillary and her team are to stay clear of the investigation. Unfortunately,Mel's widow and Hillary's former Sgt, Janine, is frustrated with the inability to arrest the man.She is on maternity leave at five months pregnant and with time on her hands she turns to her former boss for help. This is not only awkward but also potentially professionally dangerous for them both. Meantime,Mel has been replaced by Spt Vane with whom Hillary has a history. It is definitely unfriendly,though not clear why. Whatever it is,it has DI Greene uneasy. Frank Ross continues to be a thorn in her side; Gemma also is a problem,Danvers continues to ogle her and Kevin is preoccupied with his lover's hot a!nd cold long distance pressure. But,life goes on and so does murder.So who hit the old guy, thinning his onions ,on the back of his head with his garden spade? Hillary must try to ignore her own grief at the loss of her long-time friend, and the entreaties of his widow to violate her orders and investigate Evan's findings, and rally her team to find out.
