Begonias and Burglars
(2027)(Book 15 in the Petal Pushers Flower Shop Cozy Mystery series)
A novel by Laina Turner
Valentine's Day is two weeks out and Petal Pushers is finally busy again after a long, slow January. Then the sirens come down Main Street.
Whitcomb Jewelers has been robbed. The front cases are untouched, every ring still sitting in the window. But the back room, where half the town has something waiting to be sized, engraved, or repaired, has been cleaned out.
Presley Sands could let the sheriff handle it. Except her best friend Katy's grandmother's ring was in that room, along with an engagement ring for a couple who cannot afford another one.
Whoever did this walked past a fortune and knew exactly where to go. That means somebody in Hunter's Hollow told them.
With Bella the English mastiff and Topknot the duck at her side, Presley starts asking questions. But the more she learns about one very valuable bracelet, the less sure she is that anything about this burglary is what it looks like.
A warm small town cozy mystery with a nosy florist, a big dog, a bossy duck, and no gore.
Genre: Cozy Mystery
