About This Book

A PERFECT ARRANGEMENT...FOR MURDER

Now that she's a widow, and has given up recreational eating, Bretta Solomon has made The Flower Shop her whole life. But for the newly svelte Bretta, the flower business in River City, Missouri, is more than just wreaths, zinnias, or roses. It's about people, joy, grief, and love. And now, it is also about murder...

Isaac Miller was a quiet Amish farmer found dead in his own field of carmine asters, baby's breath, and statice. When Isaac's brother, suspicious of the authorities, asks Bretta to intervene in the investigation, she enters the world of the devout, isolated Amish, their not-always-so-understanding neighbors, and a thorny patch of deals between flower growers and purveyors. Soon, Bretta knows that someone wanted something that Isaac had kept secret. But finding out what that is will mean weeding out some dangerous truths from some deadly lies--and cutting a killer down to size...
