Description
As the co-owner of The Rose in Bloom, Audrey Bloom creates magnificent flower arrangements for brides to be. Though helping to plan a wedding can be stressful, it’s nothing compared to the groom turning up dead.
A designer of eye-catching bridal bouquets—many of them based on the Victorian meanings behind each flower—Audrey Bloom is used to celebrations that end with happily ever after. In fact, every couple she’s worked with is still together, living in wedded bliss. But her perfect record is about to be broken.
Her childhood friend Jenny Whitney has reeled in the most eligible bachelor in Ramble, Virginia, and she’s hired Audrey to design the bouquet. But before Jenny can walk down the aisle clutching her blend of anemone, scabious, and pussy willow (a floral disaster in Audrey’s mind), the groom is found dead—sprinkled with bits of a bouquet. This is bad for business—not to mention for Jenny, who has become the prime suspect. So Audrey decides to do a little digging herself, hoping she won’t be the next Ramble resident pushing up daisies…

April 1, 2014
Cousins Audrey and Liv love their small-town Virginia flower shop. Known for their fabulous wedding work, the two are puzzled by the upcoming nuptials of insecure Jenny and smooth-talking Derek. Jenny confides in them that she wants to call off the wedding. Her timing is bad because Derek is found dead the next day, and the murder weapon is a knife from the flower shop. All evidence points toward Jenny, and Audrey is determined to clear her friend's name. Predictably, Audrey's amateur sleuthing gets her into hot water, but she uncovers a number of motives along the way, including a casino Derek frequented. VERDICT Allen's upbeat series debut reads smoothly and easily with excellent dialog and an immensely likable cast. While an abundance of red herrings dilutes the murder plot, the flower business really stars in this cozy. The author's use of "language of flowers" lore ties in with last year's breakout novel, Vanessa Diffenbaugh's The Language of Flowers, and has strong pairing potential with Pinterest, too.
