What to expect
But, before Steph can enjoy the fruits of her labour, she makes a shocking discovery in the hotel's pool: a body, fanned by a beautiful evening dress, floating beneath the stars.
As she rushes into the scene, Steph realises this is no common-or-garden accident. When a surprising arrest is made, she will have to dig deep to ensure the police have the real killer. But Steph's missing ex husband proves a thorn in her side, as ever: turning up very much alive, and urgently needing her help.
Will Steph be able to find the murderer, and the missing rubies, and come up smelling of roses?

This has been a terrific summer series to listen to. Light but smart. The gardening details are a real plus for this reader. Narrator is excellent.
