Synopsis

Bretta Solomon is thrilled finally to have a day off. That is, until her second in command at the nursery comes down with a sinus infection and Bretta is forced to attend a funeral for which her flower shop provided the arrangements. And so death is on her mind when she arrives at the customer appreciation fair at the Parker Wholesale Greenhouse. But, soon, death becomes the only thing she can possibly think of when a greenhouse assistant is found lying in a pool of blood on a dimly lit patch of lawn next to a beautiful garden. Once again in the thick of things, how can Bretta solve this violent, bloody murder?

About this title

From the Back Cover:

The Garden Party
Death continues to wreak havoc with Bretta Solomon's social life. Relishing a break at the Parker Greenhouse picnic, the hardworking florist and amateur sleuth is prepared for a garden of festive delights. Instead she finds herself thrust into a hothouse of malevolence as a greenhouse employee-with whom she had just shared a conversation-is found lying in a pool of blood in the midst of a lovely grounds garden.

Has Withered
It's up to Bretta to help the River City sheriff solve the crime while trying to keep both her floral business and romantic life afloat. With bricks thrown through her shop window, her father nosing in on her investigation, and the increasingly attractive Bailey out of town, Bretta strives to keep her wits about her as hints of an unthinkably diabolical plot come to light. But by the time she realizes just how directly death threatens to put a crimp in her social life, it might be far too late.

"In this perennially blooming series, Harrison's hardy heroine stalks the killer with the skills of a second sleuth as she entertainingly reveals gardening's dirtier side."-Booklist

"Harrison's fifth accomplished cozy...offers an ingenious puzzle, well-drawn, credible characters, and loads of orchid lore...[Bretta] remains an appealing heroine with whom readers can readily identify."-Publishers Weekly
