Utah's favorite flower shop operator and unintentional sleuth is back in action in Annie Adams' second novel in the flower shop series. The plot is more complex this time, with the potential discovery of a believed-to-be extinct False Island Booby bird. (Yes, that's its name -- I'm not making this up.) A lecture in the Wildwood Conservatory leads to the discovery of a dead body, the disappearance of a suspect, the possibility of water pollution while our heroine Qunicy tries to keep a new romance developing while attending to Flower Shop trauma involving orders from her most demanding client and her desire to outdo herself in arranging flowers for the wedding of her assistant.Some of Quincy's adventures in the wild seem a stretch on the reader's believability, but hang in there because all is resolved by the end, while leaving one large stone unturned, perhaps setting the scene for s third entry in this series. All-in-all, a fun readwith characters you are happy to meet again. Only got through the first few chapters. Maybe because I didn't read the first book but I couldn't figure out who everyone was. None of the main characters were described very well. Didn't seem to be much of a mystery or any investigation, just the main character flying off the handle every time her boyfriend spoke to another woman! After the 5th time of her going nuts and getting upset for no reason and not giving the guy a chance to explain, I deleted the book from my Kindle.
