Pru joins forces with a local theatre group for a Shakespeare In The Park sort of thing. Hired to dress the set with plants, Pru instead stumbles into a mystery when one of the actors turns up dead. With many suspects on the cast, Pru has to figure out who had the motive to kill.

Although I enjoy this series, this one just didn't grab me and I had a tough time powering through it. Which is a bummer, books are meant to be enjoyed but yeah, it was a struggle. Usually there's a "don't investigate, it's too dangerous" trope about cozy mysteries that I hate; this one has the opposite. "Go investigate, find a killer" her cop husband says. I don't know which one annoys me more. Both feel equally as insincere.

But it was a good plot and in the end, my desire to see the mystery solved overcame my desire to quit reading the book and I liked the ending. It was the in between that what a challenge.
