Weeding Out Lies: A Texas Flower Farmer Cozy Mystery
by Jackie Layton
4 stars! A new amateur sleuth blossoms in this fresh, flower-filled, Texas-set debut cozy mystery! I recommend WEEDING OUT LIES to cozy mystery readers ready for a new series featuring flowers, food, and a scrappy female protagonist in an authentic down-home Texas setting.

Since I live in Texas, I am always up for reading a book that is set here. This series has a lot of potential, and I look forward to reading the next book to see what Emma is up to next. We give this book 4 paws up.

I was blessed by Author Jackie Layton to be one of the first to read her new book Weeding Out Lies. It is always fun to start a new series right at book one. Jackie gives us some charming characters to live with, the kind that just charm their way in…
~My Readying Journeys
Weeding Out Lies has set the Texas Flower Farmer Cozy Mystery Series off to an exceptional start with some charming characters, an intriguing mystery, and a small town filled with possibilities for more mayhem and murder.
~Escape With Dollycas Into A Good Book
Weeding Out Lies by author Jackie Layton is a cozy mystery set in small-town Texas, and my interest was held from the first page to the last. I couldn’t wait to see Whodunnit, which surprised me.
~Novels Alive
Weeding Out Lies by Jackie Layton is a layered cozy mystery that introduces readers to a quaint Texas town (complete with an equally quaint town square) and a bevy of colorful residents. The mystery was well-plotted, and I immediately got a good sense of the setting. I look forward to seeing where the series takes Emma from here! My Rating: 4 stars / enjoyed it!
