Blooming Murder — Jean Hager

HORTICULTURAL SHOCK

A timely inheritance has enabled spunky, self-sufficient Tess Darcy to transform her late Aunt Iris's estate into a charming bed-and-breakfast inn. Aptly enough, among her first guests is a gaggle of gardening enthusiasts gathered together for the regional Iris Growers' Convention a thorny bunch more interested in digging up dirt than in weeding and watering. And when one of them turns up dead in Tess's magnificent garden a cake knife planted firmly in her chest--it falls to the harried hostess to unearth the killer... before any more corpses spring up.
