From Amazon.com

Rachel O'Connor's company, Rain Country Landscaping, may be struggling, but she has a dream job at Oregon's famed Columbia River Inn--until owner Henry Bassinger plunges to a suspicious death in the Columbia Gorge. If Rachel doesn't solve the murder soon, she will lose not only her livelihood but her life.

Devil's Trumpet is Mary Freeman's triumphant mystery debut. Labeled "A Gardening Mystery," the novel successfully walks a razor's edge: detailed enough to satisfy gardening fans, but not so detailed that it alienates nongardeners. And for readers who can't wait for Freeman's next book, there is good news: under the name Mary Rosenblum, she has published three science fiction novels (The Drylands, Chimera, and The Stone Garden) and one collection (Synthesis & Other Virtual Realities) that are every bit as entertaining, ingenious, and populated with fascinating, sympathetic characters. --Cynthia Ward

Ingram

Rachel O'Connor's landscaping client is found dead from an "accidental" fall. Suspects are easy to find--but digging out evidence isn't so easy. Before long, Rachel has to look out--before she encounters an "accident" of her own.

4.0étoiles sur 5 A Light, Fun Read!, Jui 1 2001
Par K. Melissa Galyon "melreads" (Rockwall, Texas) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
In between those heavy, depressing contemporary novels, I usually pick up a quicky mystery to lighten my load. And recently becoming an amateur gardener myself, I spotted these books a mile away. I picked up all three of Mary Freeman's Gardening Mysteries recently and am so glad I did!

Rachel is a twenty-something landscaper working to expand her landscaping company, Rain Country. She's hard at work at an old, fancy hotel when the owner is found dead on the grounds. Of course, Rachel finds herself in the middle of a murder mystery complete with wacky suspects, voodoo women, and the boy-next-door. And to make it even more crazy, Rachel's widowed mother falls in love with another of Rachel's clients!

I thought this was such a cute read, I definitely recommend it for the summer!

4.0étoiles sur 5 Some very good mystery back west, Nov. 6 2000
Par Karina A. Suarez (Walt Disney World, USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
Usually modern mysteries are not as good as the traditional British classics. I was very gladly surprised when I read this book by Mary Freeman; the first of a new series subtitled "A gardening mystery". The setting is unusual as well: a small town in western Oregon. The sleuth is Rachel O'Connor, who owns a landscaping business in the mytical town of Blossom. Although her business is jusy getting by, Rachel has a lucrative contract with Henry Bassinger, the present owner of the once very famous Columbia River Inn. The hotel is now very much into decay. However, one day Henry finally pays Rachel with a substantial check. That same day Henry is found dead at the bottom of the gorge, and the investigation begins. Although Rachel is an amateur sleuth; she is, nonetheless, incredibly persuasive. The story is abound with red herrings and, although I could guess who the murderer was quite a few chapters before the denouement, I did not feel dissapointed. Ms. Freeman's talent rests, I find, in the way the handles her storytelling; particularly, in the way she reproduces dialogue among her characters. Communication could never be more realistic. This is a rare gift among mystery writers, who sometimes focus too much into the descriptions of surroundings and neglect the aspect of communication among characters. Well, none like this here. I am very much willing to read the following mysteries in the series, which will appeal not only to mystery lovers but to gardening lovers as well; each book including, at the end, a useful gardening tip, while lots of them are sprinkled throughout the novel. It will be a nice turn of events if in one of them Rachel and her ex-high school sweetheart formalize their relationship. This, while solving another murder, of course.

4.0étoiles sur 5 Very Enjoyable, Aoû 15 1999
Par Un client
Freeman puts together an interesting plot peppered with landscaping descriptions. I would have preferred more fleshed-out characters, but I guess that's the way it is with this genre. I still haven't figured out how one of the leading suspects ended up invited to the wedding at the end....
