My Teaser for this week is from
Floral Depravity
A Bridal Bouquet Shop Mystery
by Beverly Allen
My Teaser from page 68 in the Paperback.
A click of claws on the floor announced Chester’s arrival. When I glanced down at him, he meowed at me. I’ve never been good at cat-speak, but he was either demanding more food or protesting the new kitten’s prime real estate.
“You jealous bud?” I scruffed his neck and he hopped up on my lap. I was feeling the love, but then Chester’s real motive appeared. He took a swat at the kitten’s swinging tail.
The kitten hissed then launched off my shoulders, digging her rear claws deep into my skin. She landed on the counter, then zoomed into the living room.
Chester launched next (also digging his claws deep into my thighs).
Talk about cat scratch fever!
Sorry this was a long teaser. I just know all of you cat owners could relate to this scene. LOL
I love the seasonal theme and the black cat on the cover. Perfect for the fast approaching fall and Halloween. I wish you could see my copy. The cover is much more vivid than this one, with bright oranges and yellows.
This fits in two of my book challenges.

Read on if you want to know more.
Synopsis
In the latest Bridal Bouquet Shop mystery, florist Audrey Bloom creates an arrangement for a one-of-a-kind wedding, but ends up pruning a one-of-a-kind criminal…
As the co-owner of the Rose in Bloom Flower Shop, Audrey knows how to put together unique wedding bouquets, but this one takes the cake. The daughter of a local historian is getting married in a medieval-themed, hand-fasting ceremony, and Audrey is responsible for providing period-accurate blooms.
But making sure she gets her roses right turns out to be the least of Audrey’s problems. Shortly after the vows are exchanged, the father of the groom suddenly drops dead. When Audrey discovers the man’s death stems from monkshood poisoning, it’s a clear-cut case of murder. Now, faced with a suspect list that rivals the guest list, Audrey needs to root out the toxic killer…

I laughed at the scene. Could just see it. LOL
This sounds utterly amusing, I’ve been in the mood to pick up a cozy read lately. I hope you’re enjoying this one Laura 🙂
My Teaser
I’m enjoying it so far. Lots of humor, which I like:)
Great description, cover, and title. I love cozy mysteries, so this is one I’d enjoy. Good Teaser.
My Tuesday post features A Weekend Getaway
I wish you could see the print cover. So much more colorful. Perfect for my fall reading too!
Ouch! Yes, I know the pain of a cat scratch all too well. LOL This is a great teaser and the book sounds like a fun read. Thanks for sharing!
I know that pain too. LOL This just tickled my funny bone!
LOL A total cat moment…. good one!
For sure, Freda! LOL
Sounds like fun. I am not a cat owner but can still picture the excitement. Happy reading!
I adopted my sisters cat when she passed away. Been so long since I had one. She’s quite a character. I don’t think I’d want two. LOL
Oh, this looks fun – I’ll definitely keep an eye out for it! We have cats, but fortunately they get along – it helps that we got them both as kittens and at the same time.
One cat is enough for me. Her and my dog get along great and keep me entertained and on my toes:)
Authors who can write well about both human and animal characters are always great. 🙂 I’ll have to add this to my TBR!
Thanks for visiting my TT!
