About this ebook

Doreen eagerly anticipates her escape to the coast, leaving behind the wintery blues of Kelowna. However, the trip means returning to her old home—back when she was married to Mathew—stirring up a whirlwind of memories. She hopes for a peaceful journey, but, as soon as she steps into the conservatory, she realizes her hobby has unexpectedly followed her here.

Mack takes a few days off work to assist Doreen in sorting through Mathew’s belongings, aware of the emotional challenges she faces when revisiting her former life. His curiosity about her past is piqued, yet what he discovers is both unsettling and intriguing.

Amid this visit, a perplexing mystery unfolds. Why is a victim in the Vidalia patch, Doreen’s cherished garden bed? Could this be connected to Doreen herself? Or is she just unlucky again—or rather is she in the right place at the right time … again?

it was written well to the point. I would have liked it better if it had more adventure and stayed more to the line of the mystery. Love reading Dale Meyers. The Garden Rewind series.

What started out as a simple trip to Doreen's marital house, to clear and to dispose of, rapidly changes to something complicated. I love the Lovely Lethal Gardens -- the warmth of family (two footed and four footed), the active minds of the former trophy wife and a member of the law enforcement, the humor and the mements of serious. Another page turner by Dale Mayer. I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Lovely Lethal Gardens Rewind might be a spinoff from the original Doreen tales but it's keeping up the suspense, love and crazy antics just the same. I really enjoyed the first series and am continuing to enjoy this continuation of her episodes along with her delightful pets, adorable grandmother with her friends, Mack and his brother and the mysteries popping up everywhere. Definitely a great read!. I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.

About the author

Dale Mayer is a USA Today bestselling author who writes for the young, the old and those in-between – no matter what the age. Some of her books are hot, some are sweet. Some will keep you up at night with a light on to keep the boogie man away and some you’ll want to cuddle close.

She’s long given up on trying to fit a specific genre. Instead she honors the stories that come to her – and some of them are crazy, break all the rules and cross multiple genres!

And that’s okay too.

There is one guarantee with each book – it will be a great read – each and every time.
