From Amazon:
Roanoke, Virginia is home to some of the country’s most exquisite
gardens, and it’s Camellia Harris’ job to promote them. But when an out
of towner turns up dead, she discovers there’s no good way to spin
murder…
Camellia Harris has achieved a coup
in the PR world. The premier national magazine for garden lovers has
agreed to feature one of Roanoke’s most spectacular gardens in its
pages—and world-famous photographer Jean-Jacques Georges is going to
shoot the spread. But at the welcoming party, Jean-Jacques insults
several guests, complains that flowers are boring, and gooses almost
every woman in the room. When a body is found the next morning, sprawled
across the azaleas, it’s almost no surprise that the victim is
Jean-Jacques.
With Cam’s brother-in-law blamed
for the crime—and her reporter boyfriend, Rob, wanting the scoop—Cam
decides to use her skills to solve the murder. Luckily a PR pro like Cam
knows how to be nosy…
I can't wait to read this book. Yes, I already have it pre-ordered. For one, I love mysteries, including cozy mysteries. For two, I do know the author. She's one of my blogger friends. Three, it takes place in my hometown, so it'll be very cool to read about my own backyard, so to speak.
