Murder is most foul, and vampires are most deadly . . . and Theo is right in the middle!
Theo’s beloved Aunt Rosie has died. Everything she owned is now his—turns out that’s nothing but a load of debt. Out of options and down on his luck, Theo reopens his aunt’s flower shop in the chocolate-box village of Bickersby. It’s pretty as a postcard and full of smiling locals, so what if his housemates are a little odd? The unusually pale Viktor had a strange reaction to Theo’s shaving cut, but he seems nice enough. Then there’s the beautiful Elmira, who’s so captivating she’s positively bewitching. Not to mention the gruff Douglas, who gets terribly cranky right around the full moon; and the quiet Miss Meeks, whose green eyes bear a striking resemblance to those of the resident tabby cat.
As if all that wasn’t enough, when murder comes to the small town of Bickersby Theo finds himself right in the middle of the investigation. Add to that a ferocious crush on the local vampire hunter, and an equal devotion to a real-life vampire, and it’s clear that Theo’s life couldn’t get any more complicated. But when one of his new friends becomes the chief murder suspect, romance is the last thing on Theo’s mind. He has to catch the killer, which isn'''t as easy as it sounds. Dark beings stalk the cobblestone streets of Bickersby, and Theo is an easy target. If he doesn’t watch out, the next funeral bouquet might just be his own.
The Reluctant Florist is the first in a new series of Cozy Paranormal Mysteries. If you fancy eavesdropping on the goings-on in a nosy English village, solving a twisty whodunnit, and following a hapless leading man who’s craving some sweet romance, then this is the book for you.
P.S. The Reluctant Florist is written in British English so American readers might see an S where they’re expecting a Z, and a U where they’ve never seen one before!
