Fatality in F by Alexia Gordon

Gethsemane has agreed to lead the band in the rose judging contest opening.  She and the band members have been practicing.  When she goes in the flower shop afterwards she runs into a friend.  She almost gets run over by the woman coming out, but she apologizes.  When they go back out, they find a mysterious bouquet on her friend's car.  No note, no explanation and he has no idea who would have done it.  Does the gal with flowers have a crush on him or is she a stalker?

Henery Press and Edelweiss allowed me to read this book for review (thank you).  It will be published February 26th.

Gethsemane finds that flowers have meaning and gets a copy of The Language of Flowers to figure it out.  Frankie still doesn't know why someone is leaving messages but it doesn't appear they are a threat.  

He's competing in the rose contest and the other major contestant comes over and taunts him.  They have a public fight and each goes their own way.  But it doesn't look good when he's found dead in Frankie's backyard.  Did Frankie kill him?  Gethsemane thinks not and sets out to prove it.

What she finds is that everyone hated him and there are plenty of reasons for him to be dead.  This mystery has two killers involved and two different motives and two deaths, so it's a bit hard to figure out.  It's a good thing Gethsemane doesn't give up easily...
