About this ebook

A murder at the flower shop. An uncle suspected by the cops. Savanna and her sisters are on the case to make sure no one is framed.

Savanna Shepherd is delighted when her uncles Max and Freddie move to Carson and Uncle Max takes a job at Libby’s Blooms, where Savanna teaches a still life painting class. But while opening one morning, Uncle Max finds a dead body in the rooftop greenhouse…and even worse, it looks like an inside job.

It’s an uncomfortable spotlight for the family already trying to dodge a potential scandal

brewing: Savanna’s boyfriend’s daughter is in her art class, setting off wagging tongues.

Savanna and her sisters have no choice except to dig in to find the real murderer. With their

connections to the community and Savanna’s keen eye for details, they uncover longstanding resentments and a few subtle horticultural clues. But as Savanna’s investigation leads her into thorny situations, the killer may be arranging to prune yet another life: hers.

An artful cozy mystery perfect for fans of Krista Davis and Joanne Fluke.

Twists and turns! Uncle Max finds the body of a good friend on the rooftop of Libby’s Blooms, where he works. Clues suggest an inside job, and their uncle is a suspect. Savanna and her sisters are intent on finding the killer, clearing their uncle’s name, and getting justice for their friend. It was fun untangling the clues in this story. There were some good twists and red herrings to distract from the real culprit. I received a free copy, but my review is honest and voluntary.

Still Life and Death is small town, cozy mystery at its best. I love the town, the interesting townspeople and the Shepherd sisters and their family. All the sisters have talents that help solve the mystery, but Savanna is the main sleuth. With the art background, she notices things even the police miss. I enjoy her unique perspective. This is a very twisted mystery with many odd suspects and unusual motives. Ms. Gardner still manages to provide a satisfying conclusion. The book kept my interest throughout the entire mystery.

An entertaining cozy mystery/romance. This is another unforgettable Shepherd Sisters book. In this book, Savanna gets busy trying to solve the murder of the town florist, even though she is advised by the police, to stay out of it. I enjoyed catching up with the sisters and everyone else in Carson and seeing Savanna and Aiden’s relationship getting a little more serious. All around, this is a wonderfully entertaining book.
