Doomed by Blooms

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 äweekly 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.
