A monthly discussion on crime novels featuring amateur sleuths, quirky characters and homey communities. This month's novel, The Body in the Garden by Katherine Schellman, is set in Regency era London. Though newly-widowed Lily Adler is returning to a society that frowns on independent women, she is determined to create a meaningful life for herself even without a husband. At a ball thrown by her oldest friend, Lady Walter, she expects the usual scandal, gossip, and secrets among upper crust society. What she doesn't expect is the dead body in Lady Walter's garden.
