The Garden Club Mystery

Rita Claymore gets things done. The Borderville YWCA would be nothing without her. And don't forget all that street beautification she has done for the city. Her main social bailiwick is the Beuna Vista Garden Club, founded by her grandmother and now celebrating its status as the oldest such group in the state with a centennial.

Rita Claymore also tramples on everyone else to get what she wants; so it is not that surprising when she is found conked with a squirrel ornament in her garden.

Harriet Bushrow and Bob Kelsey come to the rescue in investigating the crime and a series of burglaries that don't seem quite to fit in with the murder.
