Garden Girls was the series that established Hope Callaghan’s following in the cozy mystery market. The group of amateur sleuths is warmly drawn, and the small-town setting gives the books a comfortable, familiar quality across 23 entries.
Books like Who Murdered Mr. Malone? and Grandkids Gone Wild show the range of the series, from classic whodunits to more domestic comedy-tinged plots. The cast of regulars gives readers characters to follow across the full run.
