Synopsis (Goodreads):

Lacey 'Pink' Pinkerton, the local flower shop owner, is thrilled to supply colorful flower arrangements for the Third Annual Food Fair being held in the Port Danby town square. But when one of the well-known but not so well-loved bloggers is found dead in her motel room, Lacey steps in to help Detective James Briggs solve the case. (Whether he likes it or not.)

Thoughts on Carnations and Chaos: Another murder, another pairing up of the dynamic detectiving duo of Pink and Briggs. Actually, at this point, they're less of a dynamic duo and more of an astute detective and the lady with the nose that knows.

By which I mean, Briggs uses Lacey's on-point sniffer to help him solve those pesky crimes that keep popping up in Port Danby. To be fair, his little half-smiles and willingness to include her in his cases kind of implies he doesn't dislike having her around. The fact her million dollar nose and quick mind help him solve cases just gives him an excuse to be around her, right? Right.

This time around, a not-so nice food blogger who has more than a few enemies croaks and Lacey and Briggs are there to take the call. Which makes sense since Briggs is the lead detective. Anywho. They team up, Lacey does her thing, MAGIC happens.

Am I enjoying my time in Port Danby? Despite all the dead bodies that keep popping up, I SURE AM. Or maybe it's because of the dead bodies. Either way, watching Lacey and Briggs subtly flirt while solving crimes is a hoot.
