In a beautiful prayer garden… a woman is poisoned.
Juniper Bloom, owner of the shop Bloom & Vine, thinks the worst day of her life is the arrival of the Blue Ridge Beauty TV crew in her small town. But when the show's famous host, Bianca Rose, collapses on camera after drinking a cup of poisoned mint tea, Juniper's nightmare becomes reality.
Accused of murder, trapped by fabricated evidence, and haunted by secrets from her past, Juniper finds herself in a race against time to uncover the truth. With the help of a handsome deputy who hides his feelings, a "dead" grandmother who is very much alive, and a parrot with a louder mouth than sense, Juniper discovers that Moss Creek is full of secrets — and that some flowers are far more dangerous than they seem.
Between the warm greenhouse and the dark garden, between quiet romance and cold-blooded crime…
Who is killing in the name of beauty?
