[Folly Beach Florist Murder Mystery Series 01] • The Calla Lilies of Murder Are Blooming

Book 1 of the Folly Beach Florist Mystery Series

Summertime in the South Carolina coastal town of Folly Beach usually epitomized the lazy, hazy sweet days of summer. However, a shocking murder at the extravagant annual wedding showcase has rocked the quiet beach community to its core. The victim, a young up-and-coming associate to the event’s wealthy benefactor, is found dead; covered by a newly designed varietal of calla lilies. Those flowers could be the key to unlocking this mystery, if they don’t get the wrong person convicted before the truth is discovered.

Kayla Ballantyne, the proud owner of The Flowers of Folly Beach, co-created the exclusive golden calla lilies with her assistant and best friend, Jessie Ward. Unfortunately, a very public fight the day prior to wedding showcase, makes Jessie a primary suspect. Her rocky relationship with the event coordinator, Nicole English, only adds to her perceived guilt. However, Kayla’s strong friendship and belief in Jessie’s innocence leads her to set aside the flowers while she investigates the murder on her own. Joined by her friends, Jessie’s little brother, and a new, handsome police detective, Kayla works to find the truth. Can she avoid the pitfalls of danger thrown her way as unseen forces work to frame Jessie? Or will the calla lily killer get away with murder?
