True Blue Murder

Is a blue ribbon worth killing for?

Lilliana Wentworth, retired librarian and avid grower of African violets, has developed her first hybrid, a plant with unusually deep blue flowers, to enter in the Rainbow Ranch Retirement Community's first African Violet Show and Sale.

She's sure it will will a first place ribbon.

Maybe even best in show.

But her excitement turns to dread when the aggravating Bette Tesselink, her fiercest rival, turns up dead, and she's the primary suspect.

There's never been a murder in the village of Rainbow Ranch, and it soon becomes apparent that the young Chief of Police is in over his head. Under pressure from the mayor, Lilliana is afraid he'll arrest her simply to close the case. Her only option is to begin her own investigation. Will she find the murderer before she winds up in jail?

The first in a delightful cozy mystery series with a plot full of twists, a hint of romance, and a magical ending.
