"Abby and Marco Are Home from Their Honeymoon and Ready for Another Mystery"

Fresh Fiction Review

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.

SUMMARY

I'm used to buried bulbs, not buried bodies¦ The couple that sleuths together¦ Flower Shop owner Abby Knight has just returned from a romantic honeymoon with the man of her dreams. There's no reason for the bloom to be off the rose just because she and Marco are returning to normal life. But when Marco discovers a skeleton buried in the basement of his bar, it is a bit of a mood killer. When the body is identified as a carpenter who went missing back in the 1970s, Abby and Marco decide to cultivate the clues to solve the cold case. What could be more romantic? But the deeper they dig, the more desperate the murderer grows. And if Marco and Abby don't unearth the killer's identity, they may not live to see their first anniversary.
