Book Three · An Ivy Hill Flower Shop Mystery
To Have & To Homicide.
Some vows were never meant to be kept.
A golden anniversary. A whispered toast. A champagne flute that hits the floor before the body does. Hazel is arranging the centerpieces when fifty years of small-town civility come undone in front of the whole guest list, and every toast turns out to be a confession waiting for its cue.

The Story
Fifty years of marriage. One toast nobody survived.
Ivy Hill has never seen a party like the Whitfields' golden anniversary. Hazel supplies the roses for the head table, the string lights, and the toast everyone will be repeating for years, for better or worse.
When the groom of fifty years collapses mid-speech, champagne flute still in hand, the guest list becomes a suspect list. Every couple at every table has a marriage of their own, and not one of them is as tidy as the wedding photos suggest.
Hazel starts working the room the only way she knows how, one bouquet, one overheard vow, one carefully re-poured glass of champagne at a time.
Some vows were never meant to be kept.
