Extreme gardening often involves gnomes and planted bodies...It's just an ordinary day for octogenarian sleuth Myrtle Clover--until her yardman discovers a dead body planted in her backyard. This death isn't cut and dried--the victim was bashed in the head with one of Myrtle's garden gnomes. Myrtle's friend Miles recognizes the body and identifies him as Charles Clayborne...reluctantly admitting he's a cousin. Charles wasn't the sort of relative you bragged about--he was a garden variety sleaze, which is very likely why he ended up murdered. As Myrtle starts digging up dirt to nip the killings in the bud, someone's focused on scaring her off the case. Myrtle vows to find the murderer...before she's pushing up daisies, herself.

You're invited to a deadly drop-in: Cosette Whitlow is a society matron...if tiny Bradley, North Carolina, has one. She kindly volunteers for all the town's charities, but isn't nearly as kind to her own family, neighbors, and friends. In fact, Cosette is emphatically disliked by much of the town--including octogenarian Myrtle Clover. And Myrtle knows that dislike in Bradley can quickly turn deadly. No one seems surprised when Cosette's body is discovered during a party she's hosting--she was struck on the head with a croquet mallet. Wanting to restore order to the small town, Myrtle resolves to track down the killer--before the killer strikes again. Praise for Myrtle Clover Mysteries: Publishers Weekly: "Myrtle's wacky personality is a delight." Mystery News: "Wonderful cozy mystery: solidly written, well-plotted and funny." ForeWord: "The treat here is Myrtle's eccentricity, brought to life with rich humor and executed ...with breezy skill."

This is one book club meeting that doesn't go by the book. When octogenarian sleuth Myrtle Clover discovers Naomi Pelter's dead body during a book club meeting, the other members seem shocked. But Myrtle can read between the lines. Naomi had riled everyone up by flirting with other people's husbands, arguing with neighbors, and generally making a nuisance of herself. Murdering troublemakers is the oldest trick in the book. The book club members seem too sweet to be killers, but Myrtle knows better than to judge books by their covers. Myrtle's investigation into the murder will take a more novel approach than her police chief son's by-the-book methods. Can Myrtle and her widower sidekick uncover the killer...before he writes them off for good?
