Publisher's Summary

Murder is easy...when it doesn't look like murder.

Tess Morgan has finally made her dream of restoring beautiful Kilfenora House and Gardens into a reality.

But during rehearsals for the play that forms the opening weekend's flagship event, her dream turns into a nightmare as those around her begin to fall victim to terrible accidents. Could someone be closing in on Tess herself?

Clarissa Westmacott, ex star of stage and screen, certainly believes so, particularly when she learns that purple-flowered aconite has been picked from the Poison Garden. But can she unravel the mystery of four in time to save the friend she has come to see as a daughter?

a bit meh

The story was very predictable and not hugely believable or creative, spotted the whodunit early in. Some of the content felt like an afterthought to ensure there weren't any plot holes. Terrible Australian accent, too, but great narration.

Cheesy

Aiofe McMahon is one of my favourite narrators, but she can’t “do” an Australian accent. She butchered every word Mark uttered that had an “a” in it. Given that Mark actually IS Irish then having him speak with an accent was a mistake. I love mystery novels and never work hard to guess whodunnit but even I’d worked it out quite early in the book. Too much cosy, not enough mystery.
