Synopsis
During the annual Pickle Fest, Abby's boyfriend Marco inexplicably disappears for a day. When he returns, he's the main suspect in the death of a clown. It seems the cops have found Snuggles pushing up water-spurting daisies-and Marco was the last person seen leaving Snuggles's house. Although Marco is still a mystery to her, Abby knows he's innocent. Now she has to find a way to prove it.

September 19, 2009: If you have loved the other books in this series then this one will not dissapoint. Abby always manages to find trouble no matter how much she tries to avoid it. This time she gets into a verbal fight with a clown and then runs to Marco. Marco has words and a few punches with the clown and later the clown ends up dead; with Marco being the prime suspect. It is up to Abby to track down the real killer without getting herself killed. Overall it was good and the characters are always a treat to be savoured. I really didn't guess the ending this time. The only thing that bugs me is Abby and Marco's relationship...they are supposed to be together but I find that Marco doesn't really show as much interest in Abby as she does him. Such as she has never met his parents or been to his apartment before this book. How close can they really be? All in all a good read, very quick and I will defintely buy the rest of the series.

August 17, 2008: Snuggles the Clown is murdered. Marco, the hunky ex-cop and owner of Down the Hatch Bar and Grill, is their chief suspect because he was the last one seen leaving Snuggles' house. Marco asks Abby Knight, owner of Bloomers flower shop and his girlfriend, to help find the killer. She's solved some murders in the past, but she's nervous about this one. If she fails, Marco could go to jail. As a cop, Marco had a run-in with Snuggles (Dennis Ryson) and then Marco left the force soon after. Plus Marco fought with Snuggles shortly before the murder. Abby finds that Marco seems to have secrets. Who is Trina to Marco? She'd been threatened by Ryson and asked Marco to help her. Can Abby find the murderer so Marco won't go to jail? And why won't Marco let Abby meet his mother? Abby and Marco are great together. I liked that he asked Abby to do the investigating in this book. There were plenty of suspects and twists to keep me guessing and turning the pages. This series is a great cozy mystery series that I love reading. I highly recommend this book!
