Queen of Poison — Lyndsey Cole

Business at Lily's Beautiful Blooms Flower Shop is growing like weeds after a rainstorm. And she was asked to do the main flower interpretation for the Arts in Bloom opening at the Misty Valley Museum. Everything seems to be coming up rosy until she sees a sleek red convertible drive into the driveway of her neighbor, Ryan Steele, the man of her dreams. An even sleeker red head climbs out of the car. She thought that was all she had to deal with until the founder of the museum drops dead in her arms and another body turns up dead with all the flowers pointing right toward Lily. With help from her mom, Iris, her sister, Daisy and their friends Marigold and Tamara, Lily lays out the flowers and tries to rearrange them to point to the real killer. Can she sort it out in time before a third body -- maybe hers -- ends up in the perennial garden? Can she get her romance growing again with the handsome police chief of Misty Valley? **Queen of Poison is approx. 28K words and is volume 2 in the Lily Bloom Cozy Mystery Series.
