Description: Dallas girl Pru's always dreamed of living in England and moves to London on a whim, to find that no one in the city wants to hire her. Except for wealthy Vernona Wilson, who's quite desperate to be rid of her unsightly old potting shed.
Brief description: USA Today best-selling author Marty Wingate lives in the Pacific Northwest but writes mysteries and historical fiction set in Britain. Previously, she wrote how-to garden articles and books, and this instilled in her a love of the natural world and especially the gardens and birdlife of England and Scotland. She is the author of three mystery series. Marty prefers on-the-ground research and regularly travels to Britain with her husband where she enjoys tracing the steps of her characters, stopping for tea and a slice of Victoria sponge, or enjoying a swift half in a pub.
