And an even sleeker red head climbs out of the car. She thought that was all she had to deal with until the founder of the museum drops dead in her arms and another body has all fingers pointing toward Lily.With help from her mom, Iris, her sister, Daisy and their friends Marigold and Tamara, Lily tries to arrange the clues to point to the real killer. Can she sort it out in time before a third body—maybe hers—ends up in the morgue? Can she get her romance growing again with the handsome police chief of Misty Valley? Or will she be left to sort through the clues alone?**Queen of Poison is approx. 28K words and is volume 2 in the Lily Bloom Cozy Mystery Series.

Great storyline and characters

Easy reading and fast to finish. Cute storyline and great characters. I will continue to read these books. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is because there's few typos and editing issues which diminishes from the reading enjoyment.

#2 in the series, Queen of Poison is a cute, light read--only 128 pages; perfect to read between appts. This mystery has a fun relationship between the mom and daughter, a murder, and a love interest-- plus humor. A quick, fun read.

Lily tries to figure out why someone wants to frame her for the murder of Elizabeth, the director of the museum. She was found dead after the museum closed due to the sudden demise of Marion who started the museum. Just when she gets one misdirections cleared up another seems to pop up.

This is a nice series. I enjoy the easy flowing story and the characters are very likeable.

Rosie always knows when Iris needs help

Having your dog be your champion is always good. A blooming romance with the chief of police is a nice addition to life. Another good mystery and some fun to boot.

Kindle Unlimited, lot of stuff going on in these stories, although most never makes sense and some just hurts, as in cardboard characters and situations.
