In this delightful new series by the New York Times bestselling author of the Flower Shop Mysteries, Athena Spencer comes back home to work with her crazy big Greek family at their garden center. But she never expected a return to her roots would mean protecting her family from murder . . .
After her divorce, Athena has returned to coastal Michigan to work in her family’s garden center and raise her son, while also caring for a mischievous wild raccoon and fending off her family’s annoying talent for nagging. Working alone at the garden center one night, Athena is startled by a handsome stranger who claims to be the rightful owner of a valuable statue her grandfather purchased at a recent estate sale.
But she has even bigger problems on her plate. The powerful Talbot family from whom her pappoús bought the statue is threatening to raze the shops on Greene Street’s “Little Greece” to make way for a condo. The recent death of the family’s patriarch already seemed suspicious, but now it’s clear that a murderer is in their midst. Athena will have to live up to her warrior goddess namesake to protect her family from a killer and save their community from ruin . . .
About Kate Collins
Interview with the Author
What initially got you interested in writing? I’ve always had stories in my head. After I quit teaching to raise my baby, I decided to put those stories on paper. I sold to children’s magazines and was off and running.
What genres do you write in? Right now specifically cozy mysteries. In the past I wrote historical romantic suspense.
What drew you to writing these specific genres? I’ve loved mysteries since I was a child. It was a natural.
How did you break into the field? I was writing historicals when the market seemed to dry up. I tried my hand at a cozy mystery, my agent sold it right away, and my career took off.
What do you want readers to take away from reading your works? A good page-turner, some laughter, and an underlying message.
What do you find most rewarding about writing? Having readers tell me how much they like the books.
What do you find most challenging about writing? Coming up with intricate plots.
What advice would you give to people wanting to enter the field? Be able to craft a puzzle and then take it apart.
What type of books do you enjoy reading? I read a wide variety of genres but look for a book that’s totally engrossing.
Is there anything else besides writing you think people would find interesting about you? I love to travel and I love to decorate. If I had to choose another career, it would be interior design.
