Devil's Trumpet is the first in the Gardening Mystery series. It is set in the Hood River area of Oregon, and the main character, Rachel O'Connor, is a young landscaper with her own business.
Rachel is landscaping the old Columbia River Inn, which the owner, Henry, hopes to repair and open. When Henry falls from a dangerous bridge between the main grounds and a stone gazebo, the death is looked into by the police. Rachel's employee, Julio, is one of the suspects. He is a young immigrant with limited English skills, and Rachel feels she needs to protect him.
I enjoyed the book, and the descriptions of the area. The characters were interesting, and the story moved along fairly well. I have 2 other books in the series I'm reading soon.
This is part of my Mt. TBR reading challenge, 15 out of 48.
