Doomed by Blooms: A Josie Posey Mystery - Anna St. John

Josie Posey, a mature yet ever-feisty big city crime reporter turned crime solver, has officially retired to a small, touristy town in middle America where she and her posse of friends "unofficially" have their noses in everything.

Josie loves her new life, but a weekly game of mahjong isn't enough: she itches to get back into the action. She gets more than she bargained for when The Village Gazette asks her to interview their local celebrity, a former NYC prima ballerina.

Then, the ballerina's husband is discovered dead-face down in the couple's beloved field of flowers. Now, Josie has the inside track on solving the murder, with her quirky Mahjong Mavens as useful sidekicks.

And if a killer in their midst wasn't enough distraction, Josie's matchmaking friends are pushing her to date again-particularly, to pursue an attraction toward a certain local blacksmith, with whom sparks fly.
