For the Garden Bloggers' Book Club August - September selection, I am selecting a garden mystery. Does anyone have any to recommend?

Though I cannot remember the series name, there are several mysteries involving a woman who became a TV "in the garden" personality and naturally ended up solving murders. She was from D.C., had a family, with a husband who worked in the intellegence community. It's been years since I read these - does anyone have a clue as to it's identity?
I will try to think of others.

Could the author be Ann Ripley? I'm pretty sure I read some of those a while back, and she does write gardening mysteries.

Susan Wittig Albert has a whole series of herbal mysteries. They are very fun, and usually have recipes included.

>3 tardis: Tardis - Yes! You are absolutely right. I looked up her titles and remembered several. Thanks!
>4 vonlafin: Vonafin - I have not read any of Albert. They sound like fun beach reading.
>1 Indygardener: Indygardener - are these the kind of book you are interested in or were you thinking of something else entirely?

Susan Wittig Albert is great - I like her mysteries. Plus (bonus) she's a LibraryThing member. Her first herbal mystery was Thyme of Death, I think.

These are the kinds of mysteries I was thinking of. Has anyone read mysteries by Heather Webber?

Heather Webber is new to me. I looked up her website www.heatherwebber.com and was introduced to her Nina Quinn character. Webber's book Digging for Trouble seems fun. LT's touchstones do not recognize her, though.
Again, thanks Indy for the introduction.
