7 posts | 9 read | 9 to read
Fiona Knox lost her fianc and her flower shopbut when she flies to Scotland to inherit her godfathers cottage and possibly magical walled garden, she may lose her life as well when shes swept into a murder investigation. Florist Fiona Knoxs life isnt smelling so sweet these days. Her fianc left her for their cake decorator. Then, her flower shop wilted after a chain florist opened next door. So when her godfather, Ian MacCallister, leaves her a cottage in Scotland, Fiona jumps on the next plane to Edinburgh. Ian, after all, is the one who taught her to love flowers. But when Ians elderly caretaker Hamish MacGregor shows her to the cottage upon her arrival, she finds the once resplendent grounds of Duncreigan in a dreadful shambleswith a dead body in the garden. Minutes into her arrival, Fiona is already being questioned by the handsome Chief Inspector Neil Craig and getting her passport seized. But its Craigs fixation on Uncle Ians loyal caretaker, Hamish, as a prime suspect, that really makes her worried. As Fiona strolls the town, she quickly realizes there are a whole bouquet of suspects much more likely to have killed Alastair Croft, the dead lawyer who seems to have had more enemies than friends. Now its up to Fiona to clear Hamishs name before its too late in Flowers and Foul Play, USA Today bestselling author Amanda Flowers spellbinding first Magic Garden mystery.

I finished the tagged book this morning between feeding the cat who woke me at 5:45 and leaving for exercise class. It‘s a little OTT but fun, and I think we‘ll have a good discussion at book club.

I‘d planned to return it to the library on the way home BUT I managed to spill water on the crotch of my pants and was too embarrassed to get out of my car.

That was my day in a nutshell 🤣🤣

Ruthiella Oops! 🙊 My two of my libraries have drop off bin where you don‘t have to get out of the car. 2d
Susanita @Ruthiella There used to be a curbside bin there, but they got rid of it during COVID and never put it back. 🤷🏻‍♀️ 2h

Amanda Flower is a prolific writer! I lost count of how many series she‘s had going. Last night she won the Agatha Award for historical mystery, so this morning at breakfast I started reading this, which is a book club selection for May. I also need to read the Kate Quinn book I started, but I got sucked into this one instead! #hyggehourreadathon

My plans for the day? I‘m going to Malice Domestic! Just the dinner this year because I missed the deadline, but I‘m still looking forward to it. The tagged author will be there, and my book club is reading this for May.

Before I go it‘s errands and independent bookstore day. #chatterday

AllDebooks Have a great time 😀 4d
dabbe What fun! 🤩 4d

When Fiona‘s godfather dies, she inherits a house, a magical garden, & a murder all in a small Scottish town.

This was aggressively average. Very tell, a little repetitive, & I did not buy that new American girl just waltzed in & got everyone to spill their secrets. I did love the setting, & I really liked how the magic of the garden wasn‘t overpowering. & the secondary characters were really cute. 🌕🌕🌗🌑

julieclair “Aggressively average” 🤣 I am so stealing that phrase! 12mo
KathyWheeler I really liked the magical bookshop series but haven‘t been a big fan of other books of hers. Doesn‘t sound like I‘d be a fan of this series either. 12mo

Took a bit for me to get into the book but enjoyable. Just started to like characters when it ended.
