A famous fiddler has been kilt. A magic garden's left to wilt. Does
Fiona Knox's father hold the guilt? Will florist Fiona's blood be
spilt?
World-famous fiddle player Barley McFee arrives in blustery Bellewick,
Aberdeenshire, Scotland, for a grand homecoming concert organized by
jeweler Bernice Brennan. Fiona Knox, owner of the Climbing Rose Flower
Shop, is starting to regret volunteering to help with the concert.
Bernice is an exacting taskmaster, and Fiona has enough tension dealing
with her parents, who have traveled from Tennessee to visit Fi and her
younger sister, Isla, and to reveal a secret about Fi's birth. But when
Barley is found dead in his trailer during the concert's intermission,
and his death is shockingly tied to Fiona's father, Fiona discovers
there are more secrets surrounding her family than she realized.
Much to the chagrin of handsome Neil Craig, Chief Inspector of the
County Aberdeen Police, Fiona delves into the case to clear her father's
name. To make matters worse, Fiona learns that Duncreigan, the magical
garden that she inherited from her godfather, is dying. At some point
during the concert, someone broke into the garden and cut the
centuries-old climbing rose - the source of the garden's magic - from
the standing stone.
The stakes are higher than ever and Fiona could lose all that she's
grown unless she's able to dispel this terrible curse and dig up the
truth - fast.
