Mystery Woman Sleuth
Abby Knight's wedding is in less than two weeks, and
everything is going wrong. The cooler in her flower shop is
leaking, her neck has swollen to unnatural proportions, her
groom is acting distant, and she still doesn't know where
she's actually getting married!
But things go from bad to worse when the director of her
favorite charity, Protecting Animal Rights, is murdered,
and Abby's mother becomes the main suspect. Abby's wedding
worries will have to wait until she—along with her
fiancé, Marco, and an adorable mutt named Seedy—can
nose out who wanted the animal activist put to sleep. But
they'll have to sort through the long list of suspects
quickly, or her mom may be tossed in the slammer before
Abby tosses the bouquet....

Re: Seed No Evil
Review:
What could be lovelier than living in a beautifully quaint small town and owning your own Flower Shop? But wait, there is even more to embellish Abby Knight's peaceful and beautiful life; the oh-so-handsome Marco Salvare, local P.I. and business owner who just happens to be Abby's fiance. With only two weeks to the wedding and a sudden horrible death where Abby's mother volunteers at an animal shelter, dark clouds seem to threaten this awaited union. But what can be accomplished in two weeks with her mother a prime suspect as the person who found the body? Is it murder?
Business is down, Marco seems distracted, and all Abby's wedding plans seem to be thwarted. Kate Collins devoted time and space to character input rather than direct and perhaps misplaced action, centered as it was around the problems threatening Abby's family, her wedding and her happiness. Not that action was missing, Abby and Marco work well together on the investigation. I enjoyed the book, it was different, more personal as we see new facets to family members. Full of verve, the families combine talents to perform a miracle and pull off the wedding. The book drew me in for the people as much as for the mystery, and it definitely was a difficult case.
The book actually involved more plotting, character development and humor as cousin Jillian "practices" the stages of pregnancy. The end result is both sad and happy and the book is certainly satisfying with a warm feeling regardless of the nature of the crime. I look forward to the next installment with Abby and the romantic Marco as a married couple. Will it affect their relationship? It remains to be seen.
