The Darling Dahlias and the Confederate Rose - Susan Wittig Albert

















Product Description(Amazon.com)
Just in time for the Confederate Day celebration, the Darling Dahlias are ready to plant Confederate roses along the town cemetery. Of course the plant is in fact a hibiscus.

The Confederate rose is not the only thing that is not what it first appears to be. Earle Scroggins, the county treasurer, has got the sheriff thinking that Verna Tidwell is behind a missing $15,000. But Darling Dahlias president Liz Lacy is determined to prove Verna is not a thief.

And club member Miss Rogers has discovered a secret code embroidered under the cover of a pillow that belonged to her grandmother. With missing money, mysterious messages, and the strange behavior of one resident, Darling, Alabama, on the eve of Confederate Day, is anything but a sleepy little town...

MY THOUGHTS:  I ran across this series of books while browsing the internet.  This is book 1 of 6.  I consider this a cozy mystery.  I really enjoyed meeting all the ladies of the Darling Dahlias Garden Club. Verna is in trouble, someone is setting her up to take the rap for 15,000 dollars that has come up missing at the county treasury.  So Lizzy and Verna are going to find out what happened and where the money went.  Miss Rogers has found some mysterious stitching on a pillow that belonged to her grandmother.  What could it possibly be?   You'll have to read the book to find out.  Can't wait to read book 2.  I give this book 5......
