A retired librarian turns amateur sleuth when she’s accused of murdering her rival for a first place ribbon..
Lilliana Wentworth expects the Rainbow Ranch Retirement Community’s African Violet Show to be thrilling. The former librarian has developed her first hybrid, a plant with unusual deep blue flowers, and hopes to win a first place ribbon. Maybe even best in show.

There’s never been a murder in the village of Rainbow Ranch, and it soon becomes apparent that the young Chief of Police is in over his head. Under pressure from the mayor, Lilliana is afraid he’ll arrest her simply to close the case. Her only option is to begin her own investigation. Will she find the murderer before she winds up in jail?
2. Blood Red Murder
A murder in plain sight, yet no one saw it happen.
Lilliana Wentworth’s reputation as an amateur sleuth has drawn a slew of new people to the next meeting of the African Violet Club. Everyone is curious about the famous resident of the Rainbow Ranch Retirement Community.
She hopes to turn their interest in her to raising her favorite plants. She might even convince some of them to join the club. But when the retirement community’s newest resident is murdered, and the primary suspect is a retired police officer and Lilliana’s dear friend, her joy at the thought of new members turns to dismay.
With the crowd crammed so close together in the small room, no one saw him commit the crime. But he was the only one who knew the victim. Or was he? With an abundance of elderly suspects, once again Lilliana is compelled to come to the aid of the small town chief of police to help solve a murder.
3. Royal Purple Murder
Murder on the 4th of July.
The village of Rainbow Ranch, Arizona is all abuzz since famous rodeo star Fox Fordyce came back home. But not everyone is happy to see her. Fox has a lot of history in the small town. Most of it not very good.
When the aging rodeo queen is shot dead at the annual Fourth of July Celebration, Lilliana Wentworth, retired librarian, African violet fancier, and amateur sleuth, must solve the case before her ditzy best friend is arrested for murder.
The more questions Lilliana asks, the more suspects she comes up with. With the help of her own version of the Baker Street Irregulars, she peels back the layers of secrets. But can she focus on the case while the attentions of a handsome new resident distract her?
4. Double Pink Murder
A prophecy. A discovery. A murder.
Persuaded by her best friend to attend a local psychic fair, retired librarian Lilliana Wentworth doesn’t really believe in fortunetelling. But her romance with a handsome and mysterious Scotsman has thrown her off-balance, disrupted her equilibrium, and she’s looking for guidance wherever she can find it.
When she overhears a tarot reader predict death to the young woman seated at a nearby table, she’s not so sure consulting a psychic is a good idea. Certainly it wasn’t for the woman the reading was meant for, who flees from the room in panic.
As Lilliana attempts to comfort the distraught stranger, she feels a touch of premonition herself. She has no idea what her romantic future might be, but she’s fairly certain she’ll soon be solving another murder.
