Publisher's summary

Two families mourning. Two mysterious murders. One innocent florist whose floral arrangements are the common denominator at the scene of the crimes.

When Tracy's floral store is commissioned to supply the arrangements for two funerals, she's humbled to be entrusted with the responsibility. She reluctantly puts up with the rude behavior of an old lady who manages the affairs of one of the deceased, a well-known philanthropist in Fern Grove.

When this old lady dies at the funeral, no one suspects foul play. After all, she was old and frail. However, the subsequent murder of another close member of the family sets alarm bells ringing.

Could both deaths be linked?

Tracy is left bewildered and enraged when handsome detective Copeland suggests that her daisy arrangement was the one piece of evidence found at both murder locations. The stakes are further raised when the fortune of the deceased is revealed. It seems almost everyone associated with the dead aristocrat is a person of interest.

Is there a killer at large disposing of anyone associated with the deceased? Can peace be restored to one of the oldest families in Fern Grove? Will Tracy ask the right questions to expose the murderer or become the killer's next victim?

If you want to enjoy a light-hearted listen, featuring an amateur female sleuth and a gripping murder mystery with a touch of romance, then you'll love Tracy Adams and all the friendly and not-so-friendly characters in Fern Grove. No cliff-hanger, swearing, or graphic scenes! Buy One Daisy and Two Funerals to discover how events unfold in this cozy murder mystery.

A very flowery story

Well written. Cute characters. Highly recommend this book for people that do not like violence or or tons of suspense with their mystery. This is a very straightforward story that avoids using profanity and or blood and violence

One Daisy and Two Crazy Funerals

Tracey returned to Fern Grove when she lost her job due to down sizing and the state of her aunt's mental health. After getting through a murder investigation where she was a suspect, things have settled down, or so she thought. In the floral shop a woman comes in asking for a floral arrangement for her deceased Dachshund. Then she gets another job for a floral arrangement for a deceased woman. Now there is one dead Dachshund and two deceased people. The unfortunate thing is that the one common denominator is Tracey's floral shop. Without meaning to, she is once again embroiled in a murder investigation.
Jeannette Smith has a soothing voice that entices you into the story.
Fantastic audio and story!

Great Read

Another great story about Tracy,Tiffanie and Aunt Rose! I loved the new characters and all the old ones! There were so many twists and turns and possibilities of who the murderer was! This was a heartwarming story of wealth and snooty sisters, compassion and heart wrenching sadness that because of Tracy,was a bit easier to live with! This all started with a mixup in flowers from Tracy’s flower shop that ended up with floral arrangement being mixed up for two memorials. One for the elite well to do and one for a not so well to do. The reactions of the snooty sisters was angry and petty and from the other lady was appreciation and understanding! The moral of this story is that money does not make you a better person if you feel you are above everyone else! If it were not for money, two murders would not have happened! Big surprise who the murderer is! You must read this! Not only is this a great murder mystery, but you will learn a lot about being a good person!

A well-written & enjoyable. a cute, clean cozy mys

Marvelously Suspenseful and fun Cozy Mystery

I had been knitting when my yarn took off across the room, I realized the voice in my head was now a man speaking.

This Cozy Mystery is crazy

This story is slightly insane. The characters are delightful, but the insanity of mixing two funerals flowers than finding another dead body at the funeral is just two much insanity. Although our flower shop girls seem to take it all in stride. This story is funny and brighten my day.

Childish

One feels as if this book should be in the children’s book section. The narration is condescending and so too is the whole tone of the book.

Thanks but

The narrator is horrible. I couldn't stand it for even 1 chapter. Glad it was free.
