Synopsis (Goodreads):

Pink's Flowers is in the middle of a busy bridal season, and Lacey is struggling to find a replacement for her irreplaceable assistant Ryder Kirkland. In the midst of dealing with quirky, incompetent and occasionally just unpleasant new floral assistants, Lacey finds her focus and time once again taken up by murder.

The West Coast Bird Watcher's Society has come to town for some birding frivolity and excursions. When one of the members winds up dead, Lacey and her super nose jump into action. The victim had plenty of enemies and not many friends so theories and accusations take flight. Detective Briggs and Lacey must untangle the clues to find the killer.

Thoughts on Cornflowers and Corpses: Oh MAN. Lacey attempting to find someone to replace Ryder while he's on his trip is...well, it's not going as well as she'd like. She's found a solid someone for the customer side, but a floral arranger? YIKES! And the newest one to walk through her door is NOT ENDEARING IN THE LEAST.

Good thing a juicy murder has landed in Port Danby to help Lacey take her mind off her assistant woes. While Lacey always enjoys helping bring a killer to justice, sniffing out clues (literally) is just the thing she needs right now. Bonus, she gets to spend quality time with her dude and that's always a good thing.

You know, even if it's over a dead body.

Anywho. Bird watchers. A thoroughly unlikeable dead person. A little theft and plagiarism. And Lacey right in the middle of things. But really, given the drama going on at her shop, can you blame her for throwing herself into solving a little murder? *thumbs up*
