Sometimes a fresh start comes with freshly buried secrets… Michael West thought moving to the quaint beach town of Lana Cove would be the peaceful reset he desperately needed. Sunshine, ocean breezes, and plenty of caffeine from the Bitter Sweet Café? Perfect. Becoming the prime suspect in a murder investigation? Not part of the plan. When a body turns up in Michael’s new backyard, the locals instantly side-eye the newcomer. And just when he thinks things can’t get worse, another murder hits the tiny coastal town—one that also points straight to him. Now Michael has two choices: (1) panic, or (2) team up with his new friends Ellie and Olivia—the quick-witted owners of the Bitter Sweet Café—and sleuth his way out of a jail cell. Armed with caffeine, questionable decision-making skills, and more determination than actual detective training, the trio digs into the clues scattered throughout Lana Cove. But the deeper they dig, the more twisted the mystery becomes. If they don’t catch the real killer soon, Michael might lose his freedom… and the charming new life he’s just begun to love. Perfect for fans of Bree Baker , Joanna Fluke , and Ellie Alexander , A Garden to Die For serves up a delightful blend of seaside charm, laugh-out-loud moments, and a twisty mystery that will keep you guessing to the final page.
