Two botany professors with secrets to hide.
A flower expert with something to prove.
A dead body. Or two. Or three!

Welcome to the Shellesby College greenhouse—where there’s always something dangerous blooming!

Holly Jackson could be the next rising star in the botanical department at prestigious Shellesby College in New England. On a perfect moonlit night, the rare night-blooming cereus plant is scheduled to open its petals during the College’s much anticipated Annual Night Lights Gala. A famous chocolate maker is the featured guest, there is enough food to die for, and Holly is hosting it all.
What could possibly go wrong?
It’s all honeysuckle and roses until a wily and clever killer shows up and suddenly everything goes roots up.
Is Holly the only one brave enough to follow the clues and bring about justice?
