Death Blooms in Spring
(2025)(The first book in the Flora's Garden Mystery series)
A Story by Maisy Marple
A Gardener's Eye for Murder
When garden shop owner Flora Greenfield discovers the body of ruthless garden critic Edmund Blackwood with ornate garden shears in his back, she never expects to be pulled into the investigation. But her keen observational skills—honed through years of nurturing struggling plants—notice details others miss, from clean handles on muddy shears to rare plants that shouldn't be in private collections.
As Flora reluctantly digs for clues with help from her eccentric Garden Club friends, she unearths not only a complex web of gardening rivalries but also evidence of competition fraud and a suspect with a hidden identity. When a second attack confirms the killer is still active, Flora must determine which of Rosemere Harbor's residents harbors the deadliest secret before she becomes the next victim.
In this charming debut of the Flora's Garden Mysteries series, readers will fall in love with the picturesque coastal town of Rosemere Harbor, Flora's Victorian garden shop Second Bloom, and a cast of quirky characters whose garden-themed names are as colorful as their personalities. Perfect for fans of cozy mysteries who appreciate a gardening theme, authentic characters, and a clever, twisty plot that will keep you guessing until the final page.
