“Yews with Caution”, the nineteenth book in Kate Collins’ Flower Shop Cozy Mystery series, gets off to an interesting start and the action never lets down from the first few pages. I love the characters in this series – Abby, Marco, Lottie, Grace, Rosa (a great addition to the series!), Abby’s parents, her cousin Jillian – and it is great to see Nikki take a central role in this book (and I love the dynamics of the Abby/Nikki friendship in this book). For the most part, the mystery is a good one with plenty of tension (which I won’t spoil), plenty of suspects, and some nifty twists and turns. Unfortunately, I figured out one major twist early on. And the ending felt a bit rushed – there was a nice build up to the mystery but the solution/reasoning behind what was going on didn’t feel fully developed or satisfying to me. However, I really did enjoy most of the mystery.
“Yews with Caution” is a nice cozy mystery in an enjoyable series.
