The Blood Rose - Paperback

by Eve Morrison (Author)

She came for the flowers. She stayed for the bodies.

Dana McIntyre traded high-stakes investigations for dahlias and peace of mind-until an invitation to the Toronto Garden & Floral Trade Show yanks her out of her quiet Northern Ontario life. But when an old friend collapses under suspicious circumstances, Dana finds herself pulled back into a world of fraud, secrets, and the kind of danger that doesn't stop blooming just because you look the other way.

Soon, she's chasing whispers through boardrooms and back alleys, confronting industry elites, and peeling back the layers of a well-pruned conspiracy. The deeper she digs, the more tangled things become-especially when the trail leads to someone she once trusted. And when the police arrive, they aren't there to give her a commendation.

Good thing Dana's not just a florist anymore.

In a race to clear her friend's name and expose the truth, Dana must outwit a killer hiding in plain sight-and decide whether she's ready to trade petunias for police work... permanently.

Witty, atmospheric, and sharply observant, this Canadian cozy mystery will charm fans of Murder, She Wrote and Louise Penny.
