FEATURED AUTHOR: CYNTHIA HICKEY




ABOUT THE BOOK:


New mystery from Amazon, ECPA, and New York Times best-selling author!



Ditched at the altar, Shelby Hart tosses down her bouquet, quits her job, and accepts a position as gardener and event coordinator at an upscale retirement community. Her first day on the job results with a dead body in the greenhouse under the orchids and with her as the prime suspect!






Toss in a handsome handyman, quirky characters, and a flirtatious grandma and the fun never stops.
