Bartlett Book Club: Gardening Can Be Murder
What is it about the garden that suits it to literary murder? Perhaps it is the poisonous plants, sharp tools, shady corners, and ready-made burial sites that make gardens mainstay in the mystery genre. Perhaps it is the gardens (and writers) themselves, with their “natural malice toward weeds, rodents and other garden undesirable. Rare is the gardener who can approach a slug without homicidal intent.”
