An old review but a fav author, so wanted to save this one here.
I won't detail the plot but it offers many suspects and red herrings. Lilly, at the center of it all, often seems more an accidental sleuth than intentional one, which somehow makes it all the more interesting to me. I'm sure most of us would rather be living our otherwise enjoyable lives than dealing into "Who did it?" when it's someone you know killed or accused. Well, most of us would.
In any case, Lilly's thought processes continue to intrigue me as well as how well the Garden Squad works together not just to better the community but to help solve the mystery. The characters are showing growth, too, especially Delia, who is learning to balance her attitude that facts are facts with Lilly's more instinctual ideas. It all balances out. Even so, it isn't until the very end that the guilty party is found and while Lilly plays a central role in the solution, her friends are a huge part of the revealing. I'm looking forward to the next book in the series.
