Hydrangeas, Heartache & Homicide by Hope Quinn

A beloved flower festival. A charming small town. A murder rooted in decades-old secrets.

Summer has arrived in Willowberry, and the annual Hydrangea Festival should be a celebration of blooms, neighbors, and friendly competition. Instead, it ends in tragedy when businessman Victor Ashby is found dead under suspicious circumstances.

While Chief Ben Morgan searches for a killer, café owner Stella Ray can't ignore the questions no one else seems willing to ask. Victor's death uncovers a web of forgotten records, broken promises, and family loyalties buried for decades.

The suspect list is as tangled as the town's history. A longtime rival with a score to settle. A businessman whose future depends on secrets staying hidden. A trusted friend desperate to protect someone they love. And others whose connections to Victor run far deeper than anyone realizes.

With Rex, her loyal American bulldog, uncovering clues no one else notices and Stella questioning everything she thought she knew, the truth becomes impossible to ignore.

Because someone in Willowberry has already killed once to keep the past buried...and if Stella uncovers the truth, she could be next.
