Willow Wisteria is more than just a florist; she is a brilliant floral artist, sought worldwide, who effortlessly blends aesthetics with personal touches that make each project unique.

When Willow is invited to the serene lavender fields of Provence to design centerpieces for a high-profile culinary event, the last two things on her mind are romance and murder.

But Willow will face both in France: one in the affections of a handsome event planner, and the other when a renowned chef is found poisoned, with suspicion falling on Willow herself. With her livelihood and love life on the line, Willow must clear her own name and catch a culinary killer.

The Willow Wisteria series is an endearing cozy mystery that effortlessly transports you to exotic locations, bewitches you with a magical ambiance and hooks you so thoroughly you'll find it hard to put down. Brimming with surprising narrative turns and a compelling mystery at its heart, this enthralling read promises to hold your attention well past bedtime.

The descriptions in this book are very imaginative and beautiful. I disliked the monotone narration. I thought the book moved too slowly, since after the first four chapters, I began to wonder if it was a romance or a mystery. The mystery part, the dead body, finally came in about the fifth chapter. I didn’t finish the book because I got got tired of listening to it. If a person likes more romance than mystery, this might be a good fit if they don’t mind the monotone narration.

Word choice is interesting. I think there is an over use of similes/metaphors. All of the plant references just didn’t seem natural like real people thinking/talking.

I thought the story was going very slow. Could be done a little more faster

Unfortunately the voice of Annie was boring and the pronunciation of basic Europian areas was very distracting . I fell asleep many times during this book so may be good for insomniacs.
