But when she opens an old trunk, a bequest from an anonymous benefactor, she finds it filled with bones and roses. Suddenly Tish is plunged into a murder case that dates back to her childhood. Pitted against her high school crush, homicide detective Spence Breedlove, she finds herself in jeopardy—in more ways than one. Can Tish unmask a killer before the man who broke her heart puts her behind bars or, worse, she becomes a corpse herself? With a suspenseful, surprising plot and touches of romances and humor, the New York Times–bestselling author of Garden of Lies delivers a delectable cozy mystery. Bones and Roses is the 1st book in the Cypress Bay Mysteries, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order. less
