Joyce and Jim Lavene
Series
May 2nd - Peggy's Back!
"Joyce and Jim Lavene provide a fascinating whodunit with unusual but plausible twists and plenty of red herrings (fungus might be more accurate) in their latest Peggy Lee poison case (see PRETTY POISON). PERFECT POISON is a charmer due to the quirky Tarheel support cast who have offbeat senses of humor but are there for the heroine when she needs them. Although at times she would like to throttle her “assistants” like her lover and her son whose attraction to a student adds to the fun. Still it is the forensic botanist and her investigation that makes this a perfect cozy." ~ Harriet Klausner
Praise for the Peggy Lee Garden Mysteries:
"It has everything: Mystery, wonderful characters, sinister plots, humor and even romance, ~ Midwest Book Review
"Well crafted with a satisfying end that will leave readers wanting more." ~ Fresh Fiction
"Cleverly plotted . . . a delightful botany mystery." ~ The Best Reviews
Peggy's first forensic botanist contract . . .
This is the first book that has Peggy working as a contract forensic botanist. With her love of plants and her eye for detail, it's a perfect fit! We wanted to give her room to grow as a person and a botanist and thought this would be the best way to do it. The forensic part of this equation requires less than two months of training in the ways of handling botanical evidence for the police and being able to testify about the evidence. Of course, Peggy always has to go one step further . . . but at least this time she's doing it with the police!
