Mums and Mayhem is the third book in Amanda Flower's Magical Garden cozy mystery series.
I have not read any previous books in this series.
The premise is that Fiona has moved to her uncles place to care for his magic garden after he dies and poor Fiona seems to have been stumbling into corpses ever since. Also, there's a secret involving the details of her parentage that she and her parents have to work out. Oh, and her irritating sister is irritating.
Fiona is a florist dating the handsome police chief and tending her magical garden when a famous fiddler comes to their sleepy little town. Then the man is murdered and Fiona's dad may be a suspect!
Fiona must battle through a cast of zany characters: septuagenarian fangirls, the fiddler's ex, and some angry band members. Plus, there's the bitter historian who really wants to know more about the garden.
I loved this book. The mystery was uncomplicated and there weren't a lot of red herrings. Fiona is a very sympathetic protagonist and is made even more so by the appearance of Isla who is petulant and whiny and I hope gets more character development in the series as it goes on as opposed to being a whiny brat.
I really felt for Fiona's parents and their struggle and I wasnt expecting to and it was really great stuff!
I give this on 4 out of 5 stars
