Bretta Solomon is a florist still suffering the sudden death of her cop husband 15 months prior as she struggles with her conscious in making money off of other families deaths, via the floral arrangements ordered and sold.

When a local Amish friend calls to ask her assistance in looking into the suspicious death of his brother, aka her flower supplier, she agrees to give it her best. Delving into the quiet ways of the secluded Amish does not offer up much in the way of clues, so extenuating associations must be her sources.

Placing herself in several dangerous situations (as any sleuth would do) she digs and annoys with little in the way of assistance. Even the brother is reticent in offerings, but there when needed.

Not as cozy as most mysteries, it still tingles with excitement. A cast of potentials keep us guessing until the last scene. ( )

This book was way too creepy and dark for me. I thought it would be an interesting take on the Amish, which is a topic of interest to me. However, the details about the mortuary and dealing with deceased was too much detail for me. I skimmed the book and read the ending. I put this on my "do not read this again" list. ( )
