5.0 out of 5 stars This author is a joy to read; never gets stale, 5 May 1997
By A Customer
This review is from: The Garden Plot (Hardcover)
New Englander Julia Clancy receives two free tickets to join a tour of European gardens when her friend Lillian Garth, who organized the tour, falls down a set of stairs. Julia decides to take her niece, school teacher Sarah Deane, along as her guest. Sarah does not really want to tour a bunch of stuffy gardens, but a free trip to Europe sounds too good to pass up. Sarah also learns that an old friend, Ellen Trevino, who she has not seen in several years, will serve as the tour guide. When the group board the plane at Logan Airport, Ellen is not there. The police find her corpse at a Maine rest stop. ..... The tour seems strange to Sarah as no one appears interested in gardens, yet there is no respite even in the tranquil locales. The participants act weirder and weirder, and the tour guide almost drowns. Sarah decides to learn what is going on without her spouse Alex to help her. He is busy searching for Ellen. Sarah cannot back down from trying to learn why the group is acting so strange even after her life is threatened. If she does not show a little more caution, Sarah may find her amateur sleuthing career ended very soon. ...... THE GARDEN PLOT is a wacky, but lovable mystery novel that stars the sensational Sarah Deane, mostly going solo in this novel. J.S. Borthwick has written a refreshing tale that is made more interesting by the support cast and the locale. No one does a Maine cozy (except perhaps Ms. Fletcher) better than Ms. Borthwick, who, by taking her show on the road, adds new life to an already wonderful series. ......Harriet Klausner

3.0 out of 5 stars A little disappointed, 16 Sep 1998
By A Customer
The cover caught me, the title was right down my alley, the setting was just what I like, and the cincher was the quotes, "a good fireside read" and "if you can't see the gardens of England yourself, you can with this book" (paraphrased). I HAD to read this! The book was enjoyable and the characters fun, but the story was lacking seriousness and at times disjointed. I wanted to finish because I did want to travel through England and "see" the gardens and also to see whodunit. My expectation of a dramatic climax is where my disappointment comes in. I was not totally unhappy with the book but the ending was not what I expected.

I love the way this author writes. She has some different plots so you aren't bored. And they keep you up late at night to finish them!Great read!
