Nabbed in the Nasturtiums by Dale Mayer
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

It's been a tough few weeks for Doreen since her former lawyer Robin was murdered and her ex-husband Matthew started to try and get back into her life (and so far seems to be determined to not leave her alone). Doreen's recuperation seems doubtful when a local gardener is kidnapped while picking nasturtiums for dinner and she feels a need to get involved especially as the niece has turned up at her home asking for help, even by accompanying her to the police station. Keen to help and after understanding how hard it is to be a suspect, Doreen steps in to help. With the usual mix including love, jealousy and greed it will take everything from her animal companions to keep her safe. Can she get to the bottom of this without more injuries?

This was a really dramatic story that taught Doreen some home truths about how she is and what she needs to modify in her behaviour in order to protect herself and her heart in the future. I liked the way that her solicitor (and Mack's brother) knew her number and was clever enough to both protect her interests in the divorce from Matthew as well as try to protect Doreen from herself. I also loved that the relationship between Doreen and Mack seemed to be a little further forward (although don't get excited it really isn't much at all!). The self-analysis is valid for us all and not just for Doreen and the case in question. Easy to read and understand with a great mystery to solve for the reader too.
