A stolen secret, a strangled judge, and a flowering feud.
When Lena Larsen agrees to host the New Oslo Tulip Festival at her grandmother's Victorian home, she expects prickly personalities and competitive gardeners. What she doesn't expect is murder.
As tulip enthusiasts and judges gather to showcase their prized blooms, tensions quickly rise to the surface. Head judge Eleanor Summers seems to delight in antagonizing everyone with veiled threats about "revelations" she plans to share. But before she can expose anyone's secrets, Eleanor is found dead among the prize tulip beds.
With a house full of suspects who all had reasons to want Eleanor silenced, Lena must untangle a web of botanical rivalries, professional jealousies, and decades-old secrets. Fortunately, she has a unique advantage the killer doesn't know her grandmother's ghost, whose sharp observations from beyond the grave might just help Lena catch a killer before they strike again.
As with her previous books in this series, I was captivated by the flow of the plot, the way the characters worked together to solve the mystery; and absolutely loved Granny's helpful observations! Even though the books in the series are short, the plots are well developed and the characters are believable! Loved the series and definitely recommend it! This book, like the others, gas mystery, friendship, romance, humor and a friendly relative ghost to spice things up!
