A hometown celebration, a deadly blast and fireworks with fatal consequences.

The Labor Day Carnations Festival should’ve gone off with a bang, but not like this. When a fiery explosion at the fireworks finale leaves prominent town matriarch Maxine Whitaker dead, florist Iris Bennett finds herself tangled in a mystery as layered as her floral arrangements.

The red carnations she dyed for the festival now feel like a warning especially as whispers of sabotage, secrets, and long-buried grudges ripple through the town.

With Winston, her one-eyed Persian cat, keeping close watch, and Detective Mark Cooper asking all the wrong questions, Iris begins digging into secrets someone desperately wanted to stay hidden. But in a town where everyone owes someone something, collateral damage is inevitable.

As Iris follows the trail of smoke and betrayal, she’ll have to decide: how much truth is too much and is justice worth the cost?
