Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
The lush island of Kauai is the perfect place for Louise Eldridge to film a few episodes of her public television gardening show, especially since an elite botanical conference is taking place at her luxury hotel. Her taste of paradise comes to a halt when three squabbling, prima donna botanists arrive--especially when one of them is found battered to death. Louise is convinced his death was no accident, and with everyone at the hotel a suspect, she'll have to do some serious digging to root out a ruthless killer...
"Kensington books."
Louise Eldridge, host of a PBS show, Gardening with Nature, is on location to the Hawaiian island of Kauai, the lush setting for an elite botanical conference. Louise has scheduled a panel featuring an explosive mix of egos and agenda from plant explorer and entrepreneur Dr. Bruce Bouting, pharmaceutical company consultant Dr. Matthew Flynn, environmentalist Dr. Charles Reuter and Pacific Island plant expert Dr. Tom Schoonover. But on a sunset walk along the beach, Louise discovers one of these men dead, the deep wound gouged at the base of his skull definitely not sustained from a fall off a cliff. As another botanist perishes, Louise once again turns amateur detective to solve the murders.
