annarella 's review for:

Pruning the Dead by Julia Henry
5.0

What a great start for a new series!
It's a bit more complex than the average cozy and with a set of quirky and lovely characters.
I loved the gardening theme, gardening is one of my hobbies, and liked the Gardening Guerrilla part (that is when they go gardening at nighttime), an unusual theme for a cozy mystery.
The book is well written, I like how introduced the town and the characters and I like how the plot starts slowly and then accelerates.
The mystery is very good, full of twists and turns, and it was exciting and entertaining.
I look forward to reading other books in this series.
Highly recommended!
Many thanks to Kensington Books and Netgalley for this ARC
