About Killer Flowers: A Christie’s Flower Shoppe Mystery:
The message is murder…
After ten years in the big city, accountant Christie O’Mara is back in her hometown — and thrilled to take over her deceased grandmother’s Flower Shoppe, known for its hidden floral “messages”.
But while preparing for opening day, Christie finds a note that hints at a decades-old murder, taped to the underside of an antique desk drawer. Even ditzy Aunt Doris has no idea what it could mean — and she knows everyone and everythingin town.
When a man is poisoned by a Flower Shoppe bouquet with a “be careful” message, the police chief turns up on Christie’s doorstep with tricky questions. But he may be the least of her worries.
Someone knows what happened forty years ago. And they’re laying the past to rest — one victim at a time.

Author Bio:
PJ Peterson began writing mysteries once she retired from her career as a board-certified internist. It was a natural choice considering that she read all the Nancy Drew and Trixie Belden books when she was younger, graduating to Agatha Christie and the other major mystery authors.
Her first series, Julia Fairchild Mysteries, features Julia Fairchild, MD, a smart and curious young internist who is much braver than the author (who has yet to try sky-diving).
Her novels include a touch of humor with her sidekick sister Carly providing most of that. And with her medical background, she sprinkles in something related to health or disease whenever it fits the story. After all, a doctor is just a detective wearing a white coat.
Her writing has been described as “Jessica Fletcheresque,” à la Murder She Wrote.
