Fiona Knox lost her fiancรฉ and her flower shopโbut when she flies to Scotland to inherit her godfatherโs cottage and possibly magical walled garden, she may lose her life as well when sheโs swept into a murder investigation.
Florist Fiona Knoxโs life isnโt smelling so sweet these days. Her fiancรฉ left her for their cake decorator. Then, her flower shop wilted after a chain florist opened next door. So when her godfather, Ian MacCallister, leaves her a cottage in Scotland, Fiona jumps on the next plane to Edinburgh. Ian, after all, is the one who taught her to love flowers. But when Ianโs elderly caretaker Hamish MacGregor shows her to the cottage upon her arrival, she finds the once resplendent grounds of Duncreigan in a dreadful shamblesโwith a dead body in the garden.
Minutes into her arrival, Fiona is already being questioned by the handsome Chief Inspector Neil Craig and getting her passport seized. But itโs Craigโs fixation on Uncle Ianโs loyal caretaker, Hamish, as a prime suspect, that really makes her worried. As Fiona strolls the town, she quickly realizes there are a whole bouquet of suspects much more likely to have killed Alastair Croft, the dead lawyer who seems to have had more enemies than friends.
Now itโs up to Fiona to clear Hamishโs name before itโs too late in Flowers and Foul Play, USA Today bestselling author Amanda Flowerโs spellbinding first Magic Garden mystery.
