Dead in the Garden by Dahlia Donovan
3.0
This is a delightful start to a M/M cozy mystery. I’m a fan of quaint, small towns that house remarkable residents. What makes this book unique is the diversity in it. Bishan is autistic and also accused of murdering the man lying dead in the garden.
Valor does everything he can do to get Bishan out of jail and to clear their names. It takes an army of former schoolmates to clean up a mess and to get everyone looking in the right direction and away from Bishan. Some of the best scenes involved the former Harrovians and the shenanigans they managed to get themselves into. There was a true sense of family, that is decided not by blood but by choice.
Now the only down side to this is you do not get the answer to who the killer is. There are two other novellas that you will need to read in order to get those answers. I’m looking forward to starting the second in the series and learning more about Bishan and Valor.
