Fatal Flowers by Jess Dylan
3.0
mysterious medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Plot
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

While I did enjoy this installment of the Flower House series, I didn't love it. Some things required suspending your disbelief even more than what is normal for cozy mysteries. I feel as though the romance with the love interest is a bit forced, and he wasn't included in the storyline as much as I would have liked. Some of the side characters were underdeveloped. I feel like this would have been even better with more revision and editing. I still enjoyed the mystery, and I will be continuing with the series. 

Thank you to NetGalley and St. Martin's Press for providing an eARC in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own.
