Death in the Orchid Garden
By Ann Ripley
This is the first book I have read by this author. Louise Eldridge hosts a garden show on PBS and is a sometimes sleuth. She is shooting her series in Hawaii where botanists are holding a convention. Her show is featuring three particular botanists, a commercial botanist trying to sell the latest greatest to gardeners everywhere, an ethanobotanist who is trying to find the latest in medicinal botanicals and a ecobotanist who is concerned with keeping plants in their native habitat only. One of the botanist is murdered and everyone has to stay in paradise while the investigation progresses. Suddenly everyone wants out of Eden. I found the book a little hard to get into at first but then couldn't wait to finish it. An enjoyable read.
