The choice of weapon for the killer is flower poison, starting with angel’s trumpet. No one knows botanical poisons as well as Peggy.

Is the killer working toward getting rid of Peggy too?

This is an interesting story with well defined characters. I learned about plants and their qualities and even though I enjoy gardening this was informative for me.Peggy is a strong lead character. She is an expert on poisonous plants. She teaches and she is asked to be an expert for police. There is a serial killer who is poisoning people by injecting them with distilled poisons from plants.
I am sure it was because I had not read earlier books in this series, I found it difficult to understand Peggy's actions. Her new husband and her son are both very concerned about her safety, and she refuses to even consider their feelings. I think in earlier stories the discussions may have already been completed. But, for this reader, I would have liked to have had a little more background to understand her adamant decision to ignore her loved ones.
The mystery was interesting, but I did get the murderer before the big reveal.
I will look for another book in the series. I think the writing is quite well done and the characters are people who hold my interest.
The expertise about plants is so fascinating, that alone would bring me back.

Buried By Buttercups A Peggy Lee Garden Mystery edition by Joyce Lavene Jim Lavene Crafts Hobbies Home eBooks Reviews
I've already read the first book in this series, as well as the two most recent releases, so the obvious "red herring" wasn't so "red" for me, nor was I shocked by the surprise reveal at the end. That said, it was an enjoyable little gem of a short & my only complaint is that it *was* so short. Would have been great to see this story as a full length novel!
Peggy Lee pedals her way around Charlotte NC and runs her little uptown gardening shop. She agrees to help out the police on several local murders which use poisonous injections of "ordinary" plants --a topic which is very familiar to her. This is a short, but enjoyable evening read & I'm so glad I curled up with my to unwind & read this story. Fast-paced & full of local color and characters, Joyce & Jim spin a wonderful cozy mystery that kept me reading until the last page! I highly recommend it & am looking forward to more titles in this series!
I really liked this book until about 80% through on my . At that point the book took on a very rushed quality. It's as if the authors had to hurry through because something more pressing than writing came up. The reader learned who the killer was but not his motive. The circumstance indicated that the motive should have been easy enough to come by. A great book with high entertainment value quickly became just so-so.
Was thrilled to see another of the Peggy Lee mystries come out. Was intersting and was afraid she'd come to a bad end before the killer was revealed. Sadly I got the feeling that this may be the last wonderful book in the series due to how the Lavene's end the book , with something most of us problably figured out already but made the mystery e-mail pal of Peggy Lee believeable. I hope they find a way to continue writing about this inteligent slueth. I'm a botany major and there are so few books out there for us that are this much fun to read.
I like the Joyce & Jim Lavene books, especially the Peggy Lee series. Living near Charlotte, reading the books is fun because I recognize the areas mentioned. This book was a little short for my taste, but took some turns I didn't expect, which made it interesting. I am always looking for new books in this series and I enjoyed this one as much as I have the others. I would recommend it to folks looking for a nice cozy mystery series to enjoy.
This is a quick, short story that doesn't disappoint! The story will quickly grab your attention and keep you turning the pages. The cast of characters are well written and likable; people you would like to spend time with. There are plenty of twists and turns that will keep you guessing. This can be read as a stand-alone book, the authors do a superb job of giving background information on the characters so the reader won't feel lost. I'm looking forward to reading more in this series!
Good little story. Good mystery although it was easy to figure out (I knew who it was the second time the character entered the story). But the information about the plants, and the way they were used in the murders was quite intriguing. Lavene was able to give the reader a lot in a few words. Always impressed with people that can write a short story. Although I don't get the title since it was more plants used to kill than just Buttercups. Good job, though and I'll read more by this author. You should, too!
