Tim Brinkhof in JSTOR Daily discusses the role of gardening in mysteries with citations from Marta McDowell's new Gardening Can Be Murder, including mentions of such works as Agatha Christie's Sad Cypress and Stephanie Barron's The White Garden (involving Vita Sackville-West's famous gardens at Sissinghurst Castle) and the possibility that Wilkie Collins' Sergeant Cuff in The Moonstone is the first gardening detective.

Happy birthday, Francine Mathews.
Thriller author and former CIA analyst Francine Mathews, who also moonlights as Stephanie Barron, turns 44 today. Visitors to the Spy Museum in Washington, DC, can see her in a film about modern-day espionage.
To hear Francine and I chat about her World War II novel The Alibi Club; her Jane Austen mysteries as Barron; and a forthcoming, non-Austen novel called A Flaw in the Blood, go here.
