Mystery | Mystery Cozy

Abby Knight has already flunked out of college and suffered a broken engagement, so adding another failure to the list, losing her fledgling flower shop, Bloomers, is not an option. She'll do anything, including taking on the floral contract for the wedding of her pampered and selfish, yet very wealthy cousin, Jillian. She's even agreed to be one of Jillian's bridesmaids. But putting up with all Jillian's childish antics will be easy compared to the matter of finding out who killed one of the groomsmen. And she must find out. If there's no wedding, there will be no need for flowers. And no flowers means Abby is just that much closer to losing her shop. Abby isn't new to sleuthing. It's gotten her into trouble before. And even though she's promised to stop "meddling," some things just need to be investigated. This time, however, she may have taken on far more than she bargained for as the murderer tricks Abby into playing a deadly game. This is the second book in the Flower Shop Mystery series and what a delight! Ms. Collins has a flair for engaging characters and witty dialogue. Try as you might, you won't guess the outcome, nor does the murderer tip a hand until the very end. Loved the flower shop setting and the first- person style of writing.

SUMMARY

Law school drop-out-turned-flower shop owner Abby Knight has been asked to be a bridesmaid by her cousin. But before the couple says "I do," a groomsman disappears-and another member of the wedding party is found dead. Abby has to hurry down an aisle of suspects to unveil the truth-and make sure the bride still gets to the church on time.
