The Retired Assassin's Guide to Orchid Hunting

Retired Assassin's Guide, Book 2

By: Naomi Kuttner

Narrated by: Thomas Barker

Assassin. Gardener. Reluctant cat adoptee.

All Dante wants is to be left alone in the small New Zealand town no one's heard of. No drama. No bodies. No questions.

But then, of course, the orchid convention comes to town, and Dante is knee deep in suspects, intrigue, and red herrings.

On top of all this, Dante must navigate a mysterious woman from his past, cat issues, and the terrifying prospect of a first date.

And he has to do it while fighting his instinct to solve problems the old-fashioned way: permanently.

The Retired Assassin's Guide to Orchid Hunting is a cozy paranormal mystery with found family, ghosts, a grumpy assassin, and a sunshine gardener.

Come for the murder, stay for the cat, the gardens, and the chaos.

Good for my mood

I wish there were more books in this series. I hope the author doesn’t take years to come out with the next installment.

Fantastic series

Great author, fun stories with a twist, great narrator. I’m only sad that I have to wait for more.

The adventure continues!

Delightful, quirky, and laugh out loud funny- who knew so much could happen in small town Te Kohe, New Zealand. Truly looking forward to the next adventure Kuttner devises for Dante, Charlie, Elenor & Inspector Avery!
