Cassandra Nottingham, the noted garden writer, is suffering from
the winter doldrums. So when Oliver Dickens, the owner of an
antiquarian Victorian book store, asks her to give a series of
evening garden lectures Cass reluctantly agrees. As soon as she
meets the participants her misgivings rise to despair. Few of them
know anything about gardening. The only enticement is the book
store's tea room where the chef, surly Norman Tringle, serves
delicious pastries and lunches. At the second lecture, just as Cass
is ready to throw in the towel, someone using a highly unusual
weapon murders one of the participants. Cass rushes into the search
for the murderer as she finds herself pitted against a seven-foot
policeman who tries to thwart her at every turn, as well as the
other participants who have their own motives for taking the class,
none of which have anything to do with Victorian gardening.
Increasingly frustrated by the winter Puget Sound rains and
Detective Inspector Thrupp, Cass races against the clock to uncover
a diabolical plot designed to result in a second murder.
