<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><i><b>Roanoke, Virginia, is home to some of the country's most exquisite gardens, and it's Camellia Harris's job to promote them. But when a political fundraiser turns deadly, everyone's a candidate for murder...</b></i> <p/>Cam and her best friend, Annie, are planning a gala for a local Senate candidate--a murder mystery themed silent auction where the guests bid on who will be the night's "victim." Coordinating a beautiful display of fall flowers and planning the perfect fake crime is hard enough, but with a guest list that is a "who's who" of the Roanoke elite, Cam has her hands full navigating the egos and grudges of her high society guests. <p/>When local financial tycoon Derrick Windermere is found dead next to a shattered pot of chrysanthemums, the night's fun and games quickly turn serious. Half the guests had good reason to want Windermere dead, but only one is suspiciously missing in action--Annie's father. Now Cam will not only have to figure out which partygoer is a killer, but find her friend's father before all their reputations end up dragged through the mud...<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><b>Praise for <i>The Azalea Assault</i></b> <p/>"A very good first cozy mystery with an interesting cast of characters and a lovely setting.
