Florals, Fraud, and A Fatality

A Totally Delightful Small Town Cozy Murder Mystery

A flawless garden showcase. A body posed for applause. And a killer determined to keep Silverbrook picture-perfect.

The Spring in Bloom Showcase is Silverbrook’s pride—until beloved tastemaker Celeste Fairmont is found dead in the centerpiece display, arranged like part of the décor. The town calls it a tragic fall. Dog trainer Maggie Harper sees the truth: disturbed soil, pale green wax on a broken nail, perfume lingering where it shouldn’t. Someone staged this scene.

With her sharp-nosed rescue dog, Scout, catching scents others miss—and her gossip-loving best friend feeding her secrets from behind polished committee smiles—Maggie uncovers whispers of reinvention and blackmail.

Suspicion falls on Petra, the anxious florist Celeste cornered before the show… and Leona, the glamorous former friend whose stationery seals match anonymous threats.

But when Maggie is framed and Scout is threatened, the performance turns personal.

Because this wasn’t a crime of passion.

It was control.

And if Maggie doesn’t stop the next “accident,” Silverbrook’s perfect bloom will hide another body.
