ABOUT THE BOOK:
As the co-owner of The Rose in Bloom, Audrey Bloom
creates magnificent flower arrangements for brides to be.
Though helping to plan a wedding can be stressful,
it’s nothing compared to the groom turning up dead.
A designer of eye-catching bridal bouquets—many of them based on the Victorian meanings behind each flower—Audrey Bloom is used to celebrations that end with happily ever after. In fact, every couple she’s worked with is still together, living in wedded bliss. But her perfect record is about to be broken.
Her childhood friend Jenny Whitney has reeled in the most eligible bachelor in Ramble, Virginia, and she’s hired Audrey to design the bouquet. But before Jenny can walk down the aisle clutching her blend of anemone, scabious, and pussy willow (a floral disaster in Audrey’s mind), the groom is found dead—sprinkled with bits of a bouquet. This is bad for business—not to mention for Jenny, who has become the prime suspect. So Audrey decides to do a little digging herself, hoping she won’t be the next Ramble resident pushing up daisies...

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
Barbara Early (A.K.A. Beverly Allen) grew up buried in the
snowy suburbs of Buffalo, NY, where she developed a love for
all things sedentary: reading, writing, classic movies, and
Facebook Scrabble. She holds a degree in Electrical
Engineering, but her penchant for the creative caused her to
run away screaming from the pocket-protector set.
She taught secondary English and science for several years before home schooling her daughter successfully through high school. Barbara cooks up cozy mysteries with a healthy dose of comedy and sometimes a splash of romance.
When not reading or writing, she enjoys cooking, crafts, home-improvement projects, and spending time with her husband and daughter.

Audrey Bloom is a great name for a part-owner of a flower shop. Weddings are always beautiful with lovely flowers but this preparation will be special with a dead groom. I want to see if it's the bride, a jealous woman or someone else.
