Summary: An unsatisfactory & inadequate effort
Review: I did not enjoy this book nearly as much as I expected to. I thought the characters were unrealistic & behaved improbably throughout.While there is a certain suspension of disbelief that a reader engages in while reading fiction, this book went far beyond these limits. For instance, the protagonist, Callista, dislikes the telephone because she prefers to spend time gardening, yet allows her sister to repeatedly insist she answer & return calls when she doesn't want to; the casual way she ignores being locked in the shed is also extremely unrealistic, as is the loss of the straight razor which she left in the seat of an unlocked car. The gardening information was excellent & interesting, but the story itself disappointing.

Summary: Reader from PA. April 18, 2000
Review: The book moves and is interesting. Have not read a mystery that has been so enjoyable for a long time. The characters made me smile. Some people may not care for the garding theme that is throughout though. I did and can not wait till there is another Callista Bagley Gardening Mystery book.

Summary: What a Great Novel!
Review: This was just wonderful! Callista Bagley and her quirky sister were so well drawn - imperfect but endearing. Callista reminds me of the "favorite" aunt found in almost everyone's family. Interesting and a little different!I loved the gardening theme. It helped to make Callista a real person. This was a charming and enjoyable novel from first page to last - and the character of Sheriff Dan had me laughing out loud. More of Callista Bagley please!!!
