Loyalty to a
stranger opens her to more danger than she’d ever imagined.
About the Book: Believing she’ll get
to report gritty news, Callie accepts a job at her hometown newspaper. Instead,
she’s assigned the gardening column—a subject she knows nothing about. She begs
advice from a tight-lipped neighbor when he admits he’s a retired gardener,
even though his mannerisms and speech suggest he’s anything but. Not knowing the
full truth doesn’t matter—she needs his help. The townsfolk think him strange
and warn Callie to keep her distance, but she regards him and his family as
friends. Learning their horrifying secret doesn’t deter her, even though loyalty
will draw her into danger.
Our Review: Debut author
Sheila Hansberger displays an enviable talent for creating a subtle sense of
danger with the secretive gardener next door. As well, her sense for the
setting in a small southern town and all those attendant joys are spot
on. This has been a joy to read. Cannot wait for her next adventure.
Based on a scale
of 1-5, The Gardener’s Secret merits a 6
