Hidden by the Hydrangeas — Lyndsey Cole

Lily Bloom can't seem to keep her thoughts away from marriage. Maybe it's just because her mom tied the knot with her childhood sweetheart Walter Nash, but it's gotten Lily thinking about her own relationship with Ryan Steele and if it's going anywhere. But those thoughts are quickly replaced with who is carrying a dead body, and who that dead body might be. The only thing Lily knows is that she's been spotted by the killer so she has to hope this mystery is solved before she's the next one in a body bag. When Walter's best friend turns up as the likeliest suspect, Lily's mom is beside herself with worry and convinces Lily that she's the best person to solve this case. But suspects keep piling up with not quite enough evidence to prove anything. Will Lily be able to put all the pieces together before the killer sniffs out her trail? ***Hidden by the Hydrangeas is approx. 34K words and is volume 5 in the Lily Bloom Cozy Mystery Series.
