But the erstwhile Tennessee flower shop owner promptly found herself puddle boot-deep in danger when she found a dead body among the glimmering blossoms. One police investigation later (made a trifle less unpleasant by the presence of handsome Chief Inspector Neil Craig), and Fiona’s life is getting back on a steady, though bewitched, track. Her sister Isla has just moved in with her, and the grand opening of her new spellbound venture, the Climbing Rose Flower Shop in Aberdeenshire, is imminent. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut dark, ensorcelled clouds are gathering to douse Fiona’s newly sunny outlook. First, imperious parish minister Quaid MacCullen makes it undeniably clear that he would be happy to send Fiona back to Tennessee. Then, a horrific lightning storm, rife with terribly omen, threatens to tear apart the elderly cottage and sends Fi and Isla cowering under their beds. The storm passes, but then, Fi is called away from the Climbing Rose’s opening soiree when Kipling, the tiny village’s weak-kneed volunteer police chief, finds a dead body on the beach. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe body proves difficult to identify, but Kipling is certain it’s that of the parish minister. Which makes Fiona, MacCullen’s new nemesis, a suspect. And what’s worse, Isla has seemed bewitched as of late...did she do something unspeakable to protect her sister? The last thing Fiona wanted to do was play detective again. But now, the rosy future she’d envisioned is going to seed, and if she and Craig can’t clear her name, her idyllic life will wilt away in \u003ci\u003eDeath and Daisies\u003c\/i\u003e, national bestselling author Amanda Flower’s second enchanting Magic Garden mystery.\u003cb\u003ePraise for \u003ci\u003eDeath and Daisies\u003c\/i\u003e:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“A surprising killer, oodles of local color, and a touch of mysticism all add up to a charming read.”\u003cbr\u003e—\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Those with a taste for fantasy-tinged cozies will want to see more of the appealing Fiona.” \u003cbr\u003e—\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"A great series, this author continues to write stories that should not be missed!\"\u003cbr\u003e—\u003ci\u003eSuspense Magazine\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Fans of cozies with mystical elements will enjoy Fiona’s visits to her magical garden.”\u003cbr\u003e—\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Enchanting.\"—\u003ci\u003eWoman’s World\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"If you love Hallmark Channel movies, seed catalogues, and very mild magical realism, Flower’s (yes, that’s her real name) \u003ci\u003eDeath and Daisies\u003c\/i\u003e is made for you.\"\u003cbr\u003e—\u003ci\u003eEntertainment Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Introduce this series, with its charming characters and enchanting setting, to readers of other Scotland-set cozies, such as those by Paige Shelton and Molly MacRae.
