A Hoe Lot of Trouble by Heather Webber is a quick and easy book that goes down fast while serving up some fun characters and a decent mystery. When we meet Nina Quinn, owner of a landscaping firm, she is still reeling from the fact that her husband, a cop, cheated on her. She is having issues with her teenage step-son, and she is hoping his snake is found soon. Her Italian mother is hounding on her to get her dress fitted for her sister's wedding. And then she finds out that the man who inspired her to become a landscaper has been found dead. And his family thinks it was murder.
Nina definitely rises to the challenge, with humor and resolve. When she says she is tired - we believe her! She also has someone stealing tools from her job sites - and she is determined to figure out who it is - and it is not going to be easy when most of your staff is on probabtion. (That's what happens when your cousin is a probation officer.)
Nina is an engaging character and it will be interesting to see where her author takes her. A fun read.
