Some secrets are best left buried. Unfortunately, Eliza Hawthorn has a habit of digging.
Life in the charming English seaside village of Bloomsville is rarely dull, especially when you're an eccentric florist with a nose for trouble. Eliza Hawthorn would prefer to spend her days tending her flower shop, Petals and Secrets, while her opinionated black cat, Bramble, supervises from somewhere inconvenient.
Then she discovers a bundle of seventy-year-old letters hidden inside the shop. Before Eliza can unravel their meaning, someone breaks in and steals them. All but one, that is. And the surviving letter points to a forgotten woman whose remarkable botanical illustrations may have been stolen by one of Bloomsville's most respected families.
Someone has spent decades keeping the truth under wraps, and they aren't about to let a nosy florist spoil their reputation. But Eliza knows a thing or two about flowers, and she's rather good at spotting what doesn't belong. With Bramble lending a paw?whether invited or not?she's determined to give the past its due.
Can Eliza uncover the truth behind the stolen legacy before someone makes sure the last surviving clue disappears for good?
