About this listen

Summer has arrived at Hollyhock Cottage, and romance is in the air. The roses are about to bloom, the garden nursery is filled with fragrance and color—and Poppy is going on her first proper "date" in a long time. Despite her qualms about mixing business with pleasure, she's accepted an invitation to dinner from a charming pesticide salesman and is looking forward to a night of flirting and fun. Instead, the evening ends with a chilling murder—it seems that insects weren't the only ones who found her handsome date toxic company!

Now, the hunt is on for a clever killer with a deadly knowledge of poisons. Luckily, Poppy can count on her "mad scientist" neighbor Bertie to help her sort the cyanides from the cycads, and she soon finds that her sleepy English village is crawling with suspects. There are hostile colleagues with scores to settle and jilted ex-girlfriends with points to prove... but was the murder connected to the victim's job? Or was the motive more personal?

Meanwhile, Poppy is grappling with problems at the cottage garden, too, from mysterious pests attacking her roses to disgruntled customers leaving in droves—not to mention a runaway slug leading her on a merry chase! Then there's Oren, the cheeky ginger tomcat, poking his paws where they don't belong. But when a threatening note arrives, Poppy realizes that cats aren't the only ones killed by curiosity. Can she solve the mystery and live to prune another day?

Too Mulch to Handle (English Cottage Garden Mysteries ~ Book 6) (The English Cottage Garden Mysteries), my twenty-third read from author H.Y. Hanna & the sixth book in her new English Cottage Garden Series. 7-hours 12-minutes/246-pages of an enjoyable cozy mystery. Cozy Mystery/romance, captivating primary character, what other blurbs can I use to describe these books? Oh well, buy the book, read the books, get into a good author and some good characters as I have. “I received a free Audible copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review." The gifting of this book did not affect my opinion of it. (RIP Marley January 20, 2014 - July 24, 2018).

Another well written & enjoyable read/listen

I enjoyed book 6 of the English cottage garden series. It was also very informative, in reference to what we use in our home gardens, that may be hazardous to our health. I purchased book the Kindle version & the audible, I love the narrator. I reccomend this series as well as H.Y. Hanna's other series.

I've been eagerly waiting for this book to come out on audio! Pearl Hewitt really makes this series come alive!
Poppy has been super excitedly waiting for Summer and her nursery buisness to take off and prove her grandmother proud when her best roses become in need of help.
After agreeing to go on a date with Andrew, the pesticide guy, everything starts going off the path. And with Andrew's murder Poppy herself becomes a suspect!
There are so many people with motive and means I never guessed who and how. I was draw in from the start of this story and was sad to see it end. I'm already excited for the next story!

*Disclaimer I was given a copy of this book from the author in exchange for my honest review. The above are my thoughts alone.*

I love this series for a light read. It is refreshing to see Poppy’s nursery finally beginning to succeed! The murder’s identity had me stumped until the last minute. I hope she finds out more about her father in the next book.

Great story—again!
