Book Description
In the charming coastal town of Driftwood Cove, Massachusetts, Violet Primrose’s garden is the talk of the town. Her garden is known around town for its vibrant beauty, potent medicinal herbs, and a few plants best left alone. But when local artist Dorian Drake is found dead, poisoned by something unmistakably grown in Violet’s greenhouse, she suddenly finds herself accused of murder.
With suspicion creeping in like ivy, Violet must dig deep to clear her name. She turns to her closest Arthur, a marine biologist with a curious mind and a calm demeanor, and Chris, a sharp-witted high school student with a talent for uncovering the unexpected. As the unlikely trio unearths secrets buried deep in Driftwood Cove, they begin to realize that the real killer might be hiding in plain sight.
Filled with coastal charm, quirky characters, and a mystery that will keep you guessing, The Deadly Garden is a cozy whodunit perfect for fans of small towns, slow burns, and gardens that grow more than just flowers.
About Robin Stephanie
Robin Stephanie was born and raised in Massachusetts, where the changing seasons, small-town charm, and historic landscapes sparked her imagination from an early age. Though she holds a degree in business management, storytelling has always been her true passion. After years of running a successful lifestyle blog, Robin decided to pursue her lifelong dream of becoming a novelist.
Her debut cozy mystery is a blend of wit, warmth, and a dash of suspense—just the way she likes her books. Robin’s stories are often set in quaint towns that feel like home, with characters you’d want to have coffee with (or solve a mystery alongside).
When she’s not plotting her next mystery or reading one, you can find her exploring new places with her husband, laughing over group texts with her three grown children, or doting on her fluffy white Pomeranian, Marshmallow—who thinks she’s the star of the show (and she might be right).
Robin believes it’s never too late to chase a dream, especially one that involves a good cup of coffee, a twisty plot, and the joy of getting lost in a great story.
