Larkspur Hollow Garden Club Mysteries · Book Five
The Borrowed Bouquet
All week the Garden Club has been carrying Valentine's parcels to every house in the valley — a bouquet and a card apiece — to save a grand old Vermont house from falling down. On the night of the benefit, quiet, kind Winnie Talbot receives the most beautiful flowers anyone has ever sent her, and a card asking her to meet. By morning she has been pulled from Larkspur Creek. The whole Hollow agrees she slipped on the ice; retired schoolteacher Nell Ashworth does not. And nobody can say who sent those flowers — there is no order form, no payment, and no shop in the county that could have grown a rose like that in February. The clues are hidden in the puzzle pages, waiting for you to find them.
