Seeds of Murder follows the story of Steph Williams and her dog, Mouse. She’s just landed her dream job as a gardener in the gated community, Beaulieu Heights. The residents seem to be living idyllic lives in their huge mansions in an elite community, and their insane wealths, but deep down something much darker is going on beneath the surface of Beaulieu Heights.

Families are blackmailed and Steph is hauled in front of the Neighbourhood Watch and blamed for the notes and some mysterious thefts. To protect herself and her job, she sets about uncovering the BH secrets and find out who is responsible.

I absolutely LOVED this. Rosie Sandler has created such loveable characters in Steph and Mouse. Steph overcomes so much in such a short space of time, is exceptionally knowledgeable in all things gardening and is undoubtedly one of my favourite heroines, along with her loveable sidekick Mouse

I liked the pacing of this book - it kept me intrigued and I enjoyed listening to it. Often with audiobooks I zone out but I never felt like I missed anything with this one. The narrator perfectly suited our main character, in my opinion and overall it was exactly what I'm looking for in my cosy mystery audiobooks
