Publisher Description
Riches to rags. ... Everything is under control, ... until it isn’t. And Doreen’s in the middle of it!
The four boxes of files Doreen inherited from journalist Bridgeman Solomon have already helped her solve one crime, and Doreen hopes they’ll continue to assist her as she sticks her nose into future cases. But, when she stumbles over a pair of pink satin handcuffs in her standoffish neighbor Richard de Genaro’s heather patch, it’s hard to believe that those reporter’s files could have anything useful to offer regarding that.
Doreen takes a look though, and soon she’s headed down a merry trail of prostitution, embezzlement, and, of course, murder. But the minute the files suggest a connection to Doreen’s specialty, a cold case, her beau and partner in crime, Corporal Mack Moreau, starts breathing down her neck.
With her trusty animals leading the way, Doreen sets out to find the connection between the reputable banker who died in an unsolved hit-and-run and the prostitute who owned the pink satin handcuffs. As Doreen puts it all together, even she is surprised at the outcome of her latest investigation.

Handcuffs in the Heather
I have been reading the Lovely Lethal Gardens from the very first book. The series is an old fashioned who done it series for all ages. Handcuffs in the Heather is a standalone book but is even better when read within the series. This is a book about solving a cold case involving a prostitute with issues, the vulnerability of people on the streets, and the nibbles that keep appearing to solve the cold case. Doreen and her legion of investigators/protectors (Mugs the bass hound, Goliath the Maine coon cat, and Thaddeus the parrot) are a force to be recognized. This is a fun and warm book, rich in detail, and one that will keep you guessing until the end. I found myself thinking . . . what about? wait, what about ? could it be ? Wow!. Another wonderful page turner in The Lovely Lethal Gardens.
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Absolutely love this series. Watching Doreen and Mack’s relationship evolve along with the antics of her menagerie are making my sides hurt with laughing so much. How one person can get into so much trouble is beyond me .
