Abby Knight flunked out of Law school but now runs her own business. She is the proud owner of a flower shop and even though business isn't booming she has enough to get by. However special events like her cousins wedding is where she is making the money she needs and hopefully it will also get her some new customers. Then one of the wedding party is found dead and Abby gets to do what she does better than arranging flowers. She gets to snoop, asks questions and literally sleuth her way into danger. Again.

With the help of the hunky bar owner Marco, her flatmate Nikki and her employees at Bloomers, Abby is on the case. Not everyone is happy for her to be meddling again but deep down inside they all know that if anyone is going to find out who killed the victim then it will by her. Although Abby's attention isn't just on the murder. She has also set out to discredit a massage parlour. She is sure that the place is a front for something much more sinister and if she can get enough evidence to prove it she will.

This is the second book in the Flower Shop mysteries and I really like this cozy mystery with a floral theme. Abby is a great main character and the rest of the cast are interesting too. I can't wait to read book three and see how Abby's relationship with Marco evolves. I also can't wait to see what other trouble she manages to get herself into.

Fluffy and fun this mystery keeps you guessing till the end and doesn't give you a headache. With a great well though out plot this small town based series is a nice easy read and can be enjoyed by readers who like mysteries, romance and chicklit. Also so far I have to say that these books don't really need to be read in order to be understood.
