Synopsis (Goodreads):

Lacey Pinkerton is busy getting ready for spring at Pink's Flowers and at the same time Port Danby is bustling with activity as it prepares for its annual flea market in the town square. In the midst of it all, a talented group of artists has shown up with their easels to paint pictures of the Pickford Lighthouse. When one of the artists turns up missing and then dead, Lacey works alongside of her favorite detective, James Briggs, to solve the murder. What she doesn't expect is to end up on the murderer's short list of enemies.

Thoughts on Tulips and Trouble: Spring is in the air and there's a little case of murder popping up. Which isn't all that unusual in Port Danby, as you might know. Needless to say Lacey and Detective Briggs are in the thick of things trying to figure out who did what and for what reason.

As tends to happen, Lacey ends up in the middle of some murderous shenanigans. Sure, sure, she's helping the hunky detective so she's in the middle in that respect, but she's also getting the feeling of being watched as the case progresses. Which isn't a fun feeling.

Between helping Briggs and running her flower business, she's also working her way through the scant clues she's uncovering in the century old Hawksworth family murder. Might I just say that is one slow building mystery. I don't mean that in a bad way. Really, between all the other murders she solves it's pretty awesome that she has time to follow any 100 year old clues. So I guess I have to resolve myself to a slow resolution to that one.

Murder, mayhem, jealousy, and danger. Good stuff.
