Catherine was murdered and, through a trick of molecular biology, becomes a tree. As this tree, she witnesses a murder. While that murder is being investigated, her own murder, unsolved for generations, weighs on her mind as well as Lani's mind. While the connection between the two women is a bit of a leap, it had a logic that I was happy to accept.
The novel is psychologically deeper than a cozy mystery, but the ending(s) were what one might expect with a cozy. While the reader knows who the contemporary murderer is, the mystery is in if and how Lani gets her man.
