Detailed plot synopsis reviews of The Garden Plot


This is a quite interesting mystery that continues the growth of Sarah Deane. The plot moves slowly but consistently with new actions introduced along the way that all tie together at the end. Sarah becomes a more "stand on her own" woman and shows her gumption to get involved and take action. Excellent eigth book in this series.
