This is a delightful addition to a charming mystery series featuring Prue Parke, an American professional gardener now living in England with her police detective husband Christopher. Prue is asked to take over the set decoration for a production of Shakespeare's Midsummer Night's Dream at a neighboring estate, one which has always been closed to the public and Prue has always longed to see its gardens. Once again a murder takes place on Prue's turf, when Gabriel Gibb, the actor playing Lysander who was a known womanizer is found in a locked room having been stung by numerous bees. With Christopher heading up the investigation and Prue on the scene to ingratiate herself with the cast members who are possible suspects, the due once again is able to figure out who was responsible for the death of the actor. This is a wonderful story filled with interesting, intelligent characters, lots of plant knowledge and the added bonus of some Shakespeare. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
