Death in the Orchid Garden by Ann Ripley
"Louise Eldridge, cohost of the PBS program Gardening with Nature, is in Kauai, HI, to shoot a new segment of her show. Gathered there for a botanical conference are three divas of the plant world: Bruce Bouting, the head of the world's largest plant nursery; Matthew Flynn, a successful ethnobotanist who finds new plants throughout the world; and Charles Reuter, a vehemently focused environmentalist who wants to preserve the plant world. The three hate each other with a passion. Then one of them is murdered, and Louise, the consummate snoop of the cozy set, is reluctant to investigate. Ripley's gardening series (Summer Garden Murder), though gentle in its approach to murder, packs a wallop when it comes to the world of television programming and preserving the environment. "
