Description
Abby Knight's marriage may be in full bloom, but house hunting is no bed of roses in latest novel in the New York Times bestselling Flower Shop Mystery series...
Now that they’ve tied the knot, flower shop owner Abby Knight and her husband, Marco, want to put down roots. When it comes to picking a house, Marco can’t wait to get his hands dirty, while Abby isn’t ready for a fixer-upper. But conflict really sprouts when they’re checking out a dilapidated Victorian and watch a construction worker take a life-threatening tumble.
Since witnesses claim the man shouted for help, suggesting that the fall was no accident, the victim’s flamboyant wife hires Marco to find the person responsible. Meanwhile, Abby keeps secret from Marco her own investigation into the home’s inhabitants, a family whose off-kilter behavior has aroused her suspicions. If only Abby’s very pregnant cousin, Jillian, will stop distracting Abby with false labor pains, she can conclude her own inquiries before Marco finds out…and her case blossoms into a disaster.

February 1, 2015
As newlywed flower shop owner Abby Knight and Marco, her bar owner/PI husband, begin looking for a house, they soon discover that they differ on how much work they are willing to put into such a place. In fact, Abby is even less inclined to buy a fixer-upper after they watch a construction worker's fatal fall at a run-down Victorian mansion. As other witnesses indicate that the fall might not have been an accident, the victim's wife hires Marco to investigate. Meanwhile, Abby decides to conduct her own inquiry into the family currently living in the house because she feels there is something not quite right with the children. In the midst of trying to solve this mystery without Marco finding out, Abby must also deal with her overbearing, pregnant cousin. VERDICT Collins's 16th series entry (after Throw in the Trowel) is a layered mystery that blends easy, lighthearted cozy elements with serious themes that revolve around children. Abby and Marco prove that married partners can work together to get the job done (even if they don't always know they are doing so).
