Storyline

Laura and Rosemary become involved in the murder of a woman who was using Rosemary's name and horticultural background as a means of digging holes on an old estate. Seems many of the plants are dying, so the lord is willing to have an expert look into it. But the murder victim was actually an archaeologist who may have uncovered a plot to devalue true finds and sell them on the black market.
