Bretta Solomon, a florist from River City, Missouri, has organized the first annual Show Me Competition, bringing together the most talented florists in the state of Missouri. She has lost over one hundred pounds, probably due in part to the death of her husband Carl, a deputy. An astute observer, Bretta has had success in solving past mysteries. At the convention, she is left a mysterious missive from the parents of a recently deceased girl who had come to Branson to meet her and enlist her help. When the couple turns up missing...dead..., razor blades are used as weapons, a friend and fellow florist leaps to her death, Bretta is determined to discover exactly what is going on. She is shadowed by one Bailey Monroe...a police officer?...to whom she is attracted. Despite being warned off the investigation, Bretta uses her God-given talent for helping others and her keen mind to bring justice where it is due.
Several inclusions enhance this entertaining who-done-it: a seventy-two year old sidekick, a focus on extreme weight loss, an amazing artist who crafts pictures from petals (etc.) - including personalities, a budding romance, Branson and the Missouri Ozarks, African orphanages, and drug dealing.
