Karma Camellia

By: Nancy Warren

Narrated by: Hollis McCarthy

Murder lurks behind the prettiest blooms...

The past doesn’t always stay in the past. Deeds can come back to haunt us. That’s what happens to florist Peony Bellefleur’s protégé and young witch, Char, when her old boyfriend turns up out of the blue saying he wants another chance. Turns out he’s really on the run from crime.

Meanwhile there’s a competition among some of the women in the Cotswold village of Willow Waters to support the church vicar, a widower who graciously accepts everything from home-baked bread to hand-embroidered vestments. Is someone too competitive?

Life in the charming village may look picture-perfect on the outside, but like the camellias now in bloom, there can be stinging insects hiding among the perfect petals.

Karma Camellia is the second in the Village Flower Shop series of paranormal cozy mysteries. If you enjoy a little magic with your murder, along with beautiful flowers, a mysterious lord living in a run-down castle and a circle of women who are closer than sisters, this is the series for you.

So hooked

All of her series are sooo good. This is another one I can’t stop listening to. Packed with her usual style and interesting characters! On to the next in series.

Finished with a grin!!

Such a fun and charming story with just the right amount of suspense and mystery.. and a dash of mystical romance :)

Charming continuation of a lovely series.

If you enjoy her other paranormal cozy mystery series you will enjoy this one it is of a similar vein and this is a lovely installment. I am looking forward to the next book in the series.

This is the paranormal cozy mystery you must hear!

The author does such an outstanding job of connecting you to the characters by making you feel like a confidant rather than a reader. The narrator enhances that by making it feel like she is talking directly to you rather than just saying the words. I absolutely love this author and narrator combination! They are the perfect duo and I can't wait for more of this series to come! The town's busybody and worst gossip has been murdered and it looks like the guilty party is nicely wrapped in a bow, but there is more than just one potential suspect that should be under investigation and it looks like the crew need to get their witchy intuitions on the job before an innocent man is sent down the river for the wrong crime! Fortunately, Peony and her friends are up to the task of investigating, but will it come at the risk of their own lives! I absolutely love this cast and in fact, the author does a great job of making me feel like one of the cast rather than an outsider. I can't wait to hear what happens in the next book!!!

Another excellent mystery!

Nancy Warren doesn't disappoint in her sequels, and this one is no different . Hollis McCarthy returns as narrator and brings life and variety to the many characters in Willow Waters. The mystery at the heart of the book is one of my favourites from her - well paced with plenty of suspects, and I didn't guess who it was right until the end.
