A garden designer with hope. A property developer with secrets. Will the restoration of an old walled garden dig up more than they can handle?

Ireland, 2010. Gilly Townsend’s beloved landscaping business doesn’t survive the financial crash. Just when she thinks she’ll have to move back home, a profitable project to restore an inspirational walled garden lands in her lap. But she never expected her wealthy boss from London to inspire her as well.

Marc Fletcher just wants an escape for him and his four-year-old son. As he tries to forget a dark past, Gilly’s skills in the garden bring light back into his life. As he and his landscaper grow closer, a family shadow threatens everything he holds dear.

Amidst increasingly angry blackmail, Marc and Gilly’s love starts to blossom. But when threats transform into criminal action, will the developer’s poisonous past bury Gilly six-feet-under?

The Neglected Garden is a standalone novel seeded with intrigue. If you like gutsy heroines, enigmatic heroes, and twists you won't see coming, then you’ll love Suzanne Winterly’s captivating garden mystery.

Review

"What a debut! Intriguing mystery/suspense/gentle romance story line with a variety of good characters. I read this book far into the night and only exhaustion stopped me finishing in one sitting. I loved the twists and turns of the story interspersed with the restoration and further development of a neglected garden. Highly recommended." (NetGalley reviewer, UK)

"I enjoyed the depth of characters, their relationships and actions but, most of all, the twists in the plot!" (Netgalley reviewer USA)

"The imagery is quite marvellous. Lovely writing, good descriptions, and the restoration of an abandoned garden make this a fun and worthwhile read." (NetGalley Reviewer, USA)

Wonderful read

This book was hard to put down. I loved Gilly, Marc, San and Alice, the characters came alive in the pages... I so wanted to see the garden when it was completed, it sounded quite lovely... This was a great read and I would highly recommend it.

I love everything to do with gardens and plants - is that why I enjoyed this book so much? Possibly, but I think the characters, the plot and the standard of writing had a lot more to do with it. I read through the night to finish the story and then found it sad to say goodbye to the characters. I really hope there will be a sequel.

I really enjoyed reading The Neglected Garden. The characters were believable and endearing. Just the right amount of suspense and a sweet budding romance to boot. I visited Ireland from the USA a few years ago so I especially enjoyed all the fun tidbits that brought me there again. Fun read!

LOVED this book!!! I love gardening & am a floral designer. Really connected to the landscape & plants parts. Fell in love with the characters,their stories, & the mystery. I live in the US,so anytime I can travel somewhere else with a beautiful countryside & history I’m all in. GREAT first book for Suzanne....I’ll be waiting for #2.

Thoroughly enjoyed this debut novel

This is well written and engaging. The characters had good depth to them, and the descriptions of the gardens and the places in the story were just enough to picture without overwhelming what was happening. I'd like to read more by this author. She is very good at crafting a tale.

The Neglected Garden was an easy read,with some excitement to it, however, I didn't feel emotionally connected to the characters, particularly Gilly. Her character seemed scattered.However the book was enjoyable

Good debut novel

This was an excellent debut novel, descriptions of plants, garden design & setting were very good. Nice storyline with a twist & most characters were well described. Several times I thought I’d discovered the culprit but then got expertly led in another direction.

Great story

This book has a little of everything; romance, mystery, and drama. The author's description of the garden makes it come to life in the reader's imagination. It was difficult to put the book down.

Unconvincing

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 11, 2020

Verified Purchase

Unconvincing and one dimensional characters plus an obvious plot made it a struggle to get through. Obviously you expect to suspend disbelief for a romantic suspense novel but it was the everyday details that constantly didn't ring true - the descriptions of the landscaping business and project were particularly unconvincing. Obviously the author knows zero about how a landscaping project might be designed, commissioned and executed in spite of this being a central theme of the book. Similarly the characters behave in unlikely ways that constantly jar eg the wonderful housekeeper who cares for a 4 year old but cannot spare the time to arrange playdates for him despite dishing up homemade cakes daily. What a fantastic carer the devoted but absent father found for his child! I almost gave up around 40% when I realised I really didn't care what happened to any of the characters as I didn't believe in them. However I plodded on as it seemed help with my insomnia. Not recommended. I'd rather reread a Mary Stewart for the Nth time any Day!

A Gripping and Interesting Storyline

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 19, 2020

Verified Purchase

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book and just wanted to continue to the end without having to stop. It is set in Ireland in 2010. Gilly is a Landscape Gardener and is given the task of restoring an old walled garden on a large country estate outside Dublin. Marc owns the country estate and travels to and fro from London regularly. A couple of the characters turned out not to be as genuine as Gilly had initially thought. Near to the end of the book the story took an unexpected direction. This story has very varied content - gardening, romance and suspense. The author brought the whole setting to life. I could almost picture the lovely scenery.

A gripping story

I really enjoyed this book and was gripped from the start. There was much more to it than I had expected. I particularly enjoyed the details of creating the garden and could almost see it developing as the story went on. Interesting and well developed characters. I hope the author will write more.

Thriller with a heart of gold

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 6, 2019

Verified Purchase

A real page-turner. Bought this on Thursday, it arrived on Sunday and had finished it by the following Saturday - couldn't put it down! Combines romantic fiction with an absorbing thriller that has plenty of unexpected twists. A lot of research has obviously been done - I particularly liked the section in Japan. Hope the author writes more!

Real Page Turner

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 29, 2020

Verified Purchase

I really enjoyed this book. It was a real page turner and i couldn't put it down. It's well written and the plot is believable. The characters are well drawn and dialogue good. I felt really engaged with the characters and their lives and found i wanted to know what happened next. It was nice to read a book set in Ireland too, made a great change. I recommend this book to anyone who wants a good read that isn't too fraught.
