This is the first time I have read a Peggy Lee Garden Mystery but I can tell you, it won't be my last. This book keeps you hanging on page after page with its engaging characters. You have Peggy Lee, who owns a flower shop but is also a part time forensic botonist. Her husband Steve is an FBI agent but he first told her he was a vet. Not a good way to start a marriage but it all got worked out. Peggy's first husband John, who was also in law enforcement was killed in the line of duty. There are many questions left unanswered from his murder and there are several hints in this book. Peggy and John had a son Paul, who against his mother's wishes also went into law enforcement. Oh the tangled web they weave ---- a flower show is the setting for this book along with 2 murders, a kidnapping, diamonds, and a skunk. Yes, you read that right, a skunk and her name is Matilda. One of the charms of this book is Peggy and Steve's dog, a Great Dane named Shakespeare. This book has just about everything - laughs, tears, intrigue, and mystery. Get this book or you will be missing out on one of the most delightful reads in your library. You won't be sorry.
