She killed him, she killed him not.When interior decorator Madison Night finally meets the family of her boyfriend, police captain Tex Allen, it's under strained circumstances. Tex's sister, Lily, is exhausted and overwhelmed after her botanist husband walked out, leaving her to raise four rambunctious boys on her own.
The lone bright spot? The mid-century ranch he signed over to her in the divorce. Before disappearing for good, Lily's soon-to-be-ex makes one final request: a face-to-face meeting. Madison tags along for moral support-but instead of closure, she stumbles upon his body crumpled in the corner of the arboretum where he worked. When an attack by a swarm of angry bees sidelines Tex, Madison is left to dig into the tangled roots of the case herself.
As she uncovers buried resentments, professional rivalries, and long-simmering grudges, it becomes clear the victim cultivated more enemies than allies. And if Madison isn't careful, the dirt she turns up may be enough to bury her. Can Madison weed through a daisy chain of clues-or will she risk pushing up daisies herself?Please Don't Push Up the Daisies is the eleventh book in the Madison Night mystery series, featuring a stylish amateur sleuth, mid-century modern design, and crimes where personal loyalties blur the truth.
