Book 8 of 10 When Louise Eldridge covers the spring plant sale of the venerable Bethesda Garden Club for her television show, she finds blue-blooded traditions, deeply rooted resentments— and fertile ground for murder... Louise comes to the Bethesda Garden Club's famous spring plant sale hoping to get great footage for her public television show, Gardening with Nature. She should have known she'd land in a nest of publicity-hungry garden vipers. At least she'll get to visit with her dear friend Emily Holiday, the club's vice president. But companionable chats take a back seat to sleuthing when club president Catherine Freeman is shot point-blank in her own driveway. The local police are convinced her husband, the controversial head of the Federal Reserve, was the true target. Louise, however, is not so sure... As Louise and Emily begin their own investigation, they unearth a garden variety of suspects. It seems the iron-fisted Catherine had intimidated and infuriated a great many enemies, including a plant nursery owner whose livelihood was threatened by Catherine's "hobby"; an ultra-competitive fellow member of the garden club, and an old flame of the victim's husband. As Bethesda buzzes with talk of the murder, Louise is all too aware that someone out there still has a gun, and has already proven they're ready to use it...
