Spring has sprung in northwestern Louisiana, and Annalee Wyatt hasn't stumbled across a murder victim in months. Still, between selling antique jewelry in the Magnolia Blossom, traveling to shows, and spending time with her next-door honey, she has plenty to occupy her days.The demands on her time lessen when Florine Phillips is hired to work at the shop. The widow proves to be a peerless saleswoman, and her flirtatious good looks soon have a couple of local men enraptured by her charms. When the town's widowed veterinarian begins to get serious about her, his family, from his children to his elderly mother and aunt, isn't happy. When Florine comes to work wearing his dead wife's diamond earrings, his family has had enough. Annalee is enlisted to do a background check, and what she turns up doesn't make them feel any better. It seems Florine has neglected to mention a few extra husbands, and there's a distinct possibility she tried to murder one of them. That news makes someone upset enough to put a permanent halt to the romance. Has Annalee honed her skills enough to solve this one? And how can she concentrate on murder when her boyfriend's high school sweetheart shows up and keeps messing with the clues?
