Book Description:
Landscaping is Nina Quinn's business, but trouble seems to be her middle name. Saddled with a recently expelled, faithless local-cop husband, a teenaged terror of a stepson, and the yappiest, most unhousebreakable Chihuahua in captivity, Nina needs a respite -- and the backyard makeover she's undertaking for her sister Maria and Nate, Maria's fiancé, may do the trick.
But, of course, Nate vanishes mysteriously, and Nina's gardening magic inadvertently turns up a corpse. And with a thief on the prowl who's preying on the neighborhood elderly, a suspicious Pandora's Box of a package arriving on her doorstep, and yet another body inconveniently turning up, Nina's going to have to dig into her community's dirtiest little secrets to regain her peace and sanity -- if she can manage to stay alive long enough to enjoy it.

Second in the series and much more polished than the first. The book was richer and well thought out. Unlike the first book which was awkward and a bit lagging. The plot of this one was more involved, with several sub-plots that kept things interestng. The publisher's must of hired a better proof-reader for this one too as there weren't nearly as many typos as there were in the first book! There are a few discrepencies in the small details between book 1 and 2, but they are minor so can be overlooked. It does show a lack of attention to detail on the author's part though which bugs me a bit. After all, she should know her characters lives better than anyone! All in all a decent read that is well worth pursuing.

LecClier K. (Second book in the series! Nina Quinn owns a landscaping business in Ohio which specializes in one-day yard makeovers (think Home and Garden TV). In this episode, Nina and company get involved in a makeover for Nina's sister's yard and discover several corpses in the yard. THis is a fun series!
This is an entertaining light read. Easy reading.
Nina thinks wearing the matron of honor dress in her sisters wedding is the worst thing that could happen...until dead bodies turn up!
Funny mystery!
Cute story about a landscaper who is trying to juggle her teenage stepson, unfaithful husband, lanscaping business, and murder.
