Abby finds herself investigating the murder of Sybil, the event planner, during a funeral director's convention. The book opens with Abby trapped inside a casket in the shape of a phone booth. There are twins, also in attendance, who enjoy getting on everyone's nerves by playing practical jokes. Unfortunately they picked the wrong person to lock inside the casket. After Abby realizes they were the culprits, she immediately places them on her suspect list. The only problem is, this prevents her from seeing the big picture and missing the clues that are right in front of her.

A Rose from the Dead fell flat for me. The story takes place in the span of two days, during the convention. The supporting characters make minor appearances in this novel, while the plot centers around Abby and Marco trying to solve the mystery. While this is my least favorite in the series so far, I am still looking forward to reading books 7 and 8. ( )

This is the sixth in the Flower Shop Mystery series and I think this is the best so far. The relationship between Abby and Marco is moving at a good pace while the murder mystery is amusing and well thought out. It is extremely entertaining trying to solve the murder along with Abby and Marco with an assist from Grace. The ending is just he icing on the cake. ( )

Great mystery novel as usual from this author. The perspectives on funerals was amusing, and the mystery entertaining. ( )
