*Book Tour + Review* Til Dirt Do Us Part by Teresa Trent

Synopsis:

Not everything stays buried. When Betsy, a notorious brown thumb gets roped into a gardening contest sponsored by the Pecan Bayou Gazette, she finds herself digging up more than weeds. She is ridiculed by the garden club ladies, and now her heart breaks for a newly single mom whose world has just collapsed. The Happy Hinter is back so take some time to revisit the cozy little town Pecan Bayou, Texas. Grab a glass of sweet tea before you turn the dirt in the garden and sit a spell with all your favorite characters who dole out heartfelt caring and compassion with a side of humor. Till Dirt Do Us Part includes bonus recipes and helpful hints from Betsy’s column!

My Review:

4 of 5 stars

I haven't read the previous books in this series, but I didn't feel confused at any point or like I was missing any information.  This was a quick, enjoyable read.  The characters are likable and well developed.  I really liked Betsy's character.  She seems to be a lot like me when it comes to gardening so she was easy to relate to in that sense.  The mystery behind the murder kept me interested and engaged in the story.  The reveal of the murderer took me by surprise since it wasn't someone I was expecting.  It's always nice when the author is able to keep you guessing until the end of the book.  I especially liked the recipes and the helpful hints and tips included in the back of the book.  

Teresa Trent lives in Houston, Texas and is an award-winning mystery writer.  She writes the Pecan Bayou Mystery Series, is a regular contributor to the Happy Homicides Anthologies. Teresa is happy to add her Henry Park Mystery Series to her publishing credits with Color Me Dead, the first book in the series. Teresa has also won awards for her work in short stories where she loves to dabble in tales that are closer to the Twilight Zone than small town cozies.

Her favorite things include spending time with family and friends, waiting for brownies to come out of the oven, and of course, a good mystery.
