Abby and Marco have just returned from their honeymoon, when Rafe calls to inform Marco that there has been a plumbing problem in the basement. It's in the process of being repaired, but they had to dig up the floor to fix it. When a body is discovered there, Marco is all for leaving it up to the police to solve the murder. The body has been down there for years, and he doesn't want Abby involved in another investigation. Just try keeping her out of this. The police are busy with an active investigation and leave the bones in place.

Then the bones disappear. As time passes, other pieces of evidence disappear, and it becomes personal. Abby and Marco will once again be actively involved in trying to discover the identity of the victim and that of the killer.

The Flower Shop Mysteries are some of my favorite books to read. The combination of interesting characters, unique situations, and Abby's drive to prove herself make them books one can read again and again. Abby's spunkiness and Marco's cool, low-key approach are a great combination.
