Drowning in Dahlias

Lily Bloom Mystery #4

by Lyndsey Cole

The business is heating up at Beautiful Blooms and Lily’s flower arrangements can be found all over Misty Valley at any type of event. And to add to the chaos, she’s lost the full time help of her sister, Daisy, who has started a specialty cake making business on the side. Together, they make the perfect team, especially when wealthy estate owner, Walter Nash, enlists both of them to cater and decorate for the 55th birthday party for his wife.

But when they show up with their deliveries and find the love of his life, Harriet Nash, dead on the floor, the dynamic duo is suddenly threatened. With a house full of family and friends to celebrate her birthday, there are too many suspects to keep straight.

Lily’s biggest challenge now is to find the killer before the killer finds her. But without a murder weapon at the crime scene, the questions continue to pile up without any answers. Who would have wanted Harriet dead the most? She had plenty of money, but would someone have been so greedy? As Lily and Daisy get closer to solving the murder, things take a turn for the worse with a threat on Lily’s life.

Lily just seems to walk right into trouble. Lily is asked to put together some flowers for a surprise birthday party and Daisy has made a cake for the same event. When they make the delivery they find the birthday girl on the floor dead. Lily is quick to call it in and to also start her own investigation. Hopefully Rosie will be around when she gets into the trouble that is sure to follow her.

Fun series!

Secrets can be the death of you.

The disappearing murder weapon was the first problem with their case. The Bloom women find another dead both and the men and dogs in their life must ride to the rescue again. A good story and a quick read.

Another good book

I have read all five so far and I think this is best so far The ending still feels a bit rushed but all in all an enjoyable read

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.
