At Meadowbrook's annual Rose Festival, reputations are supposed to bloom in public: judges judge, breeders boast, and the town pretends competition is the same thing as civility.
Then celebrated rose breeder Callum Strathmore is found dead beneath the centerpiece arch.
The body is bad enough. The missing crimson climber is worse.
Strathmore's newest rose was already shadowed by accusations of stolen work, contested breeding records, and a patent dispute sharp enough to poison every conversation in the greenhouse. Now Dr. Bloom-botanist, judge, and the one person trained to read what plants reveal-must decide what the festival is really protecting: a murderer, a fraud, or a secret older than the prize table.
Every suspect has cultivated the right appearance. The polished breeder with too much charm. The assistant who knows more than she should. The society gatekeepers guarding the vault. The rival whose grievance has roots. And in the middle of it all, a rose that should not be there.
Perfect for readers who love intelligent cozy mysteries, amateur sleuths, garden-club intrigue, village secrets, botanical clues, and traditional whodunits where the quietest detail is often the most dangerous.
Step into The Rose Festival Murder-where every bloom has a history, and one stolen rose may be worth killing for.
