A Vase in the Window: A Flower Shop Mystery

“Neighbors can be a real killer . . . and I, Abby Knight Salvare, am digging through the dirt to find out who pulled the trigger.” In the quaint town of New Chapel, Indiana, where flower shops bloom and barstools creak with secrets, Abby Salvare has spent twenty-five cases proving petals can hide more than thorns. A florist with a knack for unraveling mysteries, she’s back alongside her ex-Ranger husband Marco in A Vase in the Window, the New York Times bestselling author’s 26th installment of this beloved cozy series. This time, a single gunshot shatters the stillness of an early summer night, leaving a neighbor dead in his garage and a shadow creeping through the downtown square, smashing floodlights and looting stores. For Abby, it’s another bouquet of trouble; for Marco, it’s a hunt that hits too close to home. When a friend lands in a detective’s crosshairs, Abby trades her pruning shears for a notepad, chasing clues through dark alleys and family dinners gone tense. Marco, ever the steady hand behind Down the Hatch bar, tracks a thief who’s bolder than the storms rolling in. The couple’s rhythm is flawless—her intuition, his grit—but New Chapel’s latest puzzle is a tangle of feuds, debts, and whispered lies. A menacing brute lurks in the shadows, a grieving widow guards her truths, and a neighbor’s petty games turn sinister. Every lead blooms with questions: Who fired the shot? What’s worth stealing in a town this small? And why does a face in the window feel like a silent witness? From Bloomers Flower Shop to the bar’s flickering neon, Abby and Marco sift through red herrings as thunder rumbles closer. The New York Times bestselling author spins a tale that’s equal parts cozy charm and heart-pounding stakes—think warm coffee with a jolt of danger. With a storm brewing and secrets unraveling, this adventure proves New Chapel’s heart beats strongest when it’s tested. Fans will savor the Salvares’ latest dance with deception; newcomers will find a town worth rooting for—one petal, one clue, one breathtaking twist at a time.
