Evil in Carnations by Kate Collins


Determined to help her roommate Nikki out of her singles slump, Abby Knight encourages her to give speed dating a try. Of course, Nikki wants the guy at the very bottom of Abby’s list, Jonas Treat—a.k.a. “Treat the Cheat”—and figures just one date with him couldn’t hurt. But then Jonas is found dead—and evidence points to Nikki as his killer.To clear Nikki’s name, Abby enlists the help of her hunky ex-Army Ranger boyfriend, Marco. But Marco’s rambunctious extended family turns Abby’s hectic life into a disaster zone. With her patience seriously wilting, and a killer on the loose, Abby is determined to dig herself out of this mess—before someone buries her instead... (From Amazon)

Now that Abby and Marco are back together and heading in the right direction, she wants everyone to be just as happy as she is. So she encourages her BFF and roommie Nikki to try speed dating. Of course the one person that Abby doesn't like for Nikki happens to be the one guy she goes after ~ and who just happens to wind up dead. Now with Nikki facing jail time, Abby must enlist the help of all her friends to find the real killer and keep Nikki out of the big house. In the meantime, there are of course several times in which something Abby says or does that is misconstrued by either her family or Marco's. Leading to an an event that went from what people thought it was (even though it wasn't) into what they thought it was. Confusing? Sure, but telling you more will ruin it for you :) Another fantastic addition to the Flower Shop series. Abby is just as spunky as ever. It's nice to see all of the "regulars" back and once again working with Abby in her quest to figure out who-done-it. Abby and Marco are a cute, fun loving couple and I can't wait to see what happens next with them. The next book is due out in early '10. So I will patiently wait for the next book knowing it will be just as good as the rest of them ;)
