As the co-owner of The Rose in Bloom, Audrey Bloom creates magnificent flower arrangements for brides to be. Though helping to plan a wedding can be stressful, it’s nothing compared to the groom turning up dead.
A designer of eye-catching bridal bouquets—many of them based on the Victorian meanings behind each flower—Audrey Bloom is used to celebrations that end with happily ever after. In fact, every couple she’s worked with is still together, living in wedded bliss. But her perfect record is about to be broken.
Her childhood friend Jenny Whitney has reeled in the most eligible bachelor in Ramble, Virginia, and she’s hired Audrey to design the bouquet. But before Jenny can walk down the aisle clutching her blend of anemone, scabious, and pussy willow (a floral disaster in Audrey’s mind), the groom is found dead—sprinkled with bits of a bouquet. This is bad for business—not to mention for Jenny, who has become the prime suspect. So Audrey decides to do a little digging herself, hoping she won’t be the next Ramble resident pushing up daisies...

Beverly Allen holds a degree in engineering, but her creative streak caused her to run screaming from the pocket-protector set. She enjoys cooking, crafts, gardening, home-improvement projects, board games, and spending time with her husband, daughter, and three naughty but adorable cats.
The first in a new series featuring Audrey Bloom and her flower shop, the Rose in Bloom, which specializes in wedding bouquets, provides readers with a fresh twist on the amateur-sleuth story. Audrey and one of her beautiful bouquets are featured in the local news, attracting new clients. Her former friend Jenny is one of them, and she wants the same bouquet. Then the bouquet is found shredded next to Jenny’s fiancé’s murdered body, and a knife from the store is missing. Jenny is the prime suspect, but Audrey believes she didn’t do it. Despite how Jenny treated her in the past, Audrey helps support her in jail and tries to find another suspect. Allen offers realistic and appealing portraits of Audrey and her cousin and co-owner, Olivia, as they struggle to build their business and talk to people from the small town who may have known the victim. A romantic subplot involving Audrey and local baker Nick adds texture to this promising new cozy series. --Amy Alessio
