Every rose has its thorn...

Amy Mackenzie is on the up. Her florist business is thriving, with a roll call of wealthy clients. And none are more glamorous than architect James Elliott and his beautiful wife, Eleanor. But try as she might to become part of their world, Amy is always on the outside looking in.

Hired by the couple to provide the flowers for a lavish party, Amy sees an opportunity to have the kind of lifestyle she's always dreamed of. But when a guest suffers a violent and shocking death, the finger of blame is soon pointing at Amy. As the florist fights to clear her name, it isn't long before she uncovers some ugly truths about the Elliotts.

But Amy is hiding an even bigger secret. And by the time she realises the past has finally caught up with her, it might just be too late.

The description of the floral industry was spot on! I should know we have owned a flower shop for 38 years!

Loved the descriptions of the flowers and the work of the florist was so true!

Mystery, but a bit predictable

I was hoping this was a different kind of murder mystery, but it was okay. I found it frustrating that the main character was oblivious to some of the more obvious plot lines and she seemed naive/gullible. I read it because a friend suggested it since we all work in flowers but it just wasn’t what I was hoping for.
