Summary
Against the backdrop of a house steeped in history and a thriving new gardening business, three women unearth the memories of the past in the first novel in #1 New York Times bestselling author Nora Roberts’ In the Garden Trilogy.

A Harper has always lived at Harper House, the centuries-old mansion just outside of Memphis. And for as long as anyone alive remembers, the ghostly Harper Bride has walked the halls, singing lullabies at night…

Trying to escape the ghosts of the past, young widow Stella Rothchild, along with her two energetic little boys, has moved back to her roots in southern Tennessee. She isn’t intimidated by Harper House—nor by its mistress. Despite a reputation for being difficult, Roz Harper has been nothing but kind to Stella, offering her a comfortable place to live and a challenging new job as manager of the flourishing In the Garden nursery.

As Stella settles comfortably into her new life, she finds a nurturing friendship with Roz and expectant mother Hayley and a fierce attraction to ruggedly handsome landscaper Logan Kitridge. He’s difficult but honest, brash but considerate—and undeniably sexy. And for a sensible woman like Stella, he may be just what she needs….

I find Nora Roberts to be very relaxing listening and enjoy the characters and their interactions and dialogue. This novel has a unique spin and I'm intrigued to keep reading the next in the series.

This book was an intriguing mix of romance and spirits, and a view into an industry I know nothing about. It was a light read and I liked the characters and story. It kept me entertained and that is a lot of what I listen for especially when making a long drive.

This is the first of one and a half books of Nora Roberts to which I have listened . She is not an author I will listen to again as I do not enjoy banal romance generally and the 'ghost story element' was, for me, just that - an element woven into the text with little significance to the whole.

Nora Roberts has come through on another great story. And even though the audio version is abridged, none of the story was lost. the narrator did a terrific job with so many voices, and carried the story well. I laughed, wept (try THAT with fresh makeup on your way to work -- and it was worth it!) and loved the characters. I couldn't wait to go to work in the morning to hear more of the story! This is a good choice for listening enjoyment if you're a romance story lover or Nora Roberts fan! If you're not -- try it, you'll like it!

This was a pretty good book. Although I found the main character (Stella) annoying, I enjoyed the book and I am looking forward to reading the sequels. By the way, I am completely in love with Logan!!!!

I loved this book, from the beginning it grabs your attention. I really liked the characters they seemed like old friends. The narrator was great too, she gave each character such personality. There was just the right mixture of romance and mystery.

This is the first Nora Roberts book I have "read" and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The beginning was a little slow and the romance was a bit predictable but the plot has kept me listening.

I listened to the unabridged version of Blue Dahlia and then the abridged version of the sequel (Black Rose)...stick with the unabridged version. The abridged version leaves too much of the main story out and you don't get a full appreciation of all the characters. Otherwise it was definitely an enjoyable story.

I very much enjoyed this book. The narrator was excellent and it was easy to distinguish between the characters (even the men!) based on the voices she used. She easily switched back and forth between a southern accent and other accents. I definitely recommend this book for a lighthearted, enjoyable commute to work! I'm looking forward to the next book in the series!

A little romance, a little ghost, a little history, and the present are all mixed in and beautifully presented. The perceptive of the older, middle, and younger woman's views are all protrayed in this well written little tale told in the South as only the South can tell it. . . can't wait until the sequel!
