Poinsettias and the Perfect Crime

 Poinsettias and the Perfect Crime is book #3 Diana Flowers Floriculture Mysteries  This series is a lot of fun to see the different dynamics amongst the characters.  This installment is full of family drama and residual high school age drama.   Mixed in among all this is the murder of Bill Wrexton and the disappearance of a valuable diamond.  The plot is a mix of light hearted fun directed at Diana's friend, Fergus and his conspiracy theories and a bit like a government spy novel.   Diana has drama in the form of her ex boyfriend appearing on the scene as well as a high school rivalry resurfacing.   Meanwhile it is the holiday season and her floral business is booming and expanding.  This is always an interesting sub story and learning experience.  I look forward to reading more of this series.  If you want a light hearted and somewhat humorous cozy this is a great series to try.
