Friends or frenemies
She has had enough of city life and has returned home to her only living relative. Her aunt is showing her age and she feels that she has made the right decision. When she is given a cheque, a trust from her deceased parents, she is unsure what to do. A decision is made for her - flower shop. Her community doesn't have one as she found out when she tried to get flowers for her trip to the cemetery. Her business takes off in a small way, by delivering flowers by bicycle until her flower shop opens. Some of her deliveries are harder than others. Like the mock order from the mean girl in high school and when she finds a dead body. A sweet start that ends on a cliffhanger.

Enjoyable prequel
Enjoyed this prequel to A Black Orchid Mystery series. Vivica Meadows, along with her hound dog Maximus, return to her hometown of Dahlonega, Georgia. In this prequel, characters are introduced and some background is given leading to the start of the Vivica's mobile flower shop. This one ends with a cliff hanger, leaving me wanting more and looking forward to the next book in this series.

Fun new series
When I saw the cover for this read ,I knew I would likely love it. Sure enough Vivica and her Hound have me hooked.I love the concept of her new business venture , using flowers from her mom's garden and delivering them by bike.I also like the characters Aunt Mildred and Winnie as they are a hoot.Look forward to reading more of this series.

This book is actually a prequel to the Black Orchid mystery series, there is no mystery/murder till the last page of the book. Typos/incorrect word usage abounds! I will not be following this series.

Misused commas, misspelled words made this story less enjoyable. No depth to the characters or story. It was a short, quick read....nice start.
