false <![CDATA[The Accidental Florist (Jane Jeffry Mystery, Book 16)]]> http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1172156435m/143621.jpg 143621 3 <p> Jane Jeffry and longtime beau Detective Mel VanDyne finally decide to marry, but Mel's overbearing mother wants to take charge of not only the rehearsal dinner but the actual wedding. Since Jane half expected Mel's mother to steamroll the entire event, she agrees&#8212;but with rules of her own. No bridesmaids, no groomsmen. And she can't tell Jane what to wear. </p> <p> But during what should have been a blissful interval between the engagement and the bouquet toss, several other occurrences take place. Mel convinces Jane and her best friend, Shelley Nowack, to take a women's safety class. They learn a lot, but the class is cut short when a dead body is discovered. So between Jane's wedding planning, her new writing project, and a battle between both mother-in-laws (which Jane encourages), a murderer must be found before this bride can walk happily down the aisle. </p> 1228473 2007 The Accidental Florist (Jane Jeffry Mystery, Book 16) total:140|5:11|4:35|3:38|2:37|1:19| 140 402 187 31 2 0 false false Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Mon Mar 23 06:21:25 -0700 2009 Mon Mar 23 06:34:28 -0700 2009 more...]]> 1 0 false false Thu Mar 01 00:00:00 -0800 2007 Sun Jan 18 12:29:36 -0800 2009 Sun Jan 18 12:29:36 -0800 2009 Grime and Punishment, won an Agatha Award and has in fact survived several cullings of my own personal library.
