Truth blooms in unexpected corners. Octogenarian sleuth Myrtle Clover is caught in a bouquet of chaos on Valentine's Day. Forget chocolates and roses, she's more interested in the local florist, Teddy Hartfield, who ends up pushing up daisies instead of arranging them. When Myrtle and her trusty sidekick, Miles, venture to the flower shop for a harmless interview, they're ambushed by a bloomin' murder scene. Teddy, the mild-mannered florist, has met with foul play. Now, Myrtle must weed through the suspects, including Teddy's jealous sister, a prickly developer with a halted project, and Teddy's former business partner with a not-so-rosy history. As they sniff out clues, the killer is determined to bury the truth deeper than a flower bulb. As Myrtle and Miles tiptoe through the tulips, the killer lurks. Will they unearth the truth or end up fertilizing the flowerbed?
