Pretty Poison by Joyce and Jim Lavene is the first in a series with the character Peggy Lee. Dr. Lee is a botanist with a special interest in poisonous plants. She is a cop's widow recovering from the violent death of her husband. She is now lecturing at a college and running her own urban gardening business. And her life gets a jolt when the husband of one of her customers is found dead in her shop.
The authors do a great job with an older character restarting her life. They have a great character with a zest for life and it shows in the diverse amount of friends she has. The mystery was just okay - but I'm hoping the growth of the character will bring this series along. A fun read.
