Review: Snipped in the Bud by: Kate Collins


Title: Snipped in the Bud
Author: Kate Collins
Publisher: Berkley Prime Crime
Format: e-book ( 296 p.) Personal Purchase

Description:

When I swapped the thorny problems of law school for the budding business of my flower store, Bloomers, I vowed that I, Abby Knight, wouldn t be caught dead visiting that hateful campus ever again. But sometimes a girl s got to face down her dragons....

PLANT OF ATTACK

Someone orders a black rose for Abby s old law school nemesis, Professor "Snapdragon" Puffer. But her plans for a speedy delivery are foiled when he catches her putting the bloom on his desk and sends it straight into the trash. Abby flees in terror, only to run smack into Carson Reed, the professor who recently had her arrested at an animal rights protest. After a biting exchange, Abby storms out of the building. But if there s anything she can t stand, it s injustice and bullies. So, even though she knows bad luck comes in threes, she ignores the advice of her sometimes boyfriend, hunk-a-licious Marco Salvare, and heads back in to retrieve her dignity and her flower -- only to find the rose now decorating a dead professor, and herself the prime suspect....

My Thoughts; 

So much was going on with poor Abby whose in trouble when a professor ends up dead and Abby ends up in the hot seat.  She spends her time having to hide to avoid people who want her arrested.  Who killed Carson Reed and why?  Did he have other enemy's besides our beloved Florist?

This book was such fun going back and visiting with Abby and her friends and family.  I have been spending alot of time reading and defiantly loved going back to some favorite series to catch up with.  This book was such a blast seeing how it went.
