  This audiobook adaptation is based on a short story masterpiece, penned by one of the most revered and a consummate master in the genre - William Sydney Porter alias O Henry. 
  Jimmy Wells and Bob were raised in New York City and grew up as very close friends, just like brothers. Their paths diverged when Bob moved west to make his fortune and Jimmy stayed in New York as young adults. Before they parted, though, Bob and Jimmy agreed to meet in twenty years at the restaurant Big Joe Brady's where they last saw each other. 
  After twenty years have passed, Bob is waiting for Jimmy at the appointed spot. A policeman on patrol stops to question, and Bob tells the policeman his story. Bob boasts of how well he has fared and tells the policeman that he does not doubt that Jimmy will show up. 
  Later, "Jimmy Wells" arrives, and as they walk into a lighted area, Bob discovers that this is not the same Jimmy he knew, because twenty years cannot change a man's nose from Roman to Pug. The man reveals himself to be a plainclothes policeman who arrests “Silky” Bob, a wanted criminal. Before going to the police station, he gives Bob a letter from Jimmy. Bob reads it and realizes that the policeman he met earlier was in fact, Jimmy Wells. In the letter, Jimmy explains that when he arrived at the designated spot and realized that his old friend, Bob, was the criminal that the police were on the lookout for, he did not have the heart to arrest him, instead, he sent a plainclothes officer to do so.

  Anxious to get married, thirty-year-old Virginia Carey lands a job as an operator at a police tip line, where she thinks finding a husband will be easy. There’s Charlie Ford, a surprisingly sweet homicide detective, and charming police chief Declan “Deck” Brady. But just as Virginia’s plans begin to fall into place and she can almost picture a ring on her finger, she answers a call from Verona—a mysterious woman who provides a tip about four bodies on a remote local beach. Verona, a sex worker, also gives Virginia details on sordid and raucous parties attended by law enforcement officers—and on the strange fetishes of cops she has been involved with. Then comes an explosive tip: Verona thinks it’s a police officer who is responsible for the killings. But it can’t be true—the cops Virginia works with are marriage material, even if they are a little rough around the edges. While Verona trusts that her tips are being heard because she and Virginia have formed an unusual connection, Virginia realizes that the key to solving the case is ultimately in her hands. The tip line will reveal the truth about those murders. So long as Virginia is willing to hear it.

  Enjoy this witty, small town paranormal, cozy mystery by award-winning and bestselling author Lucinda Race. 
  Welcome to Pembroke Cove, where witches and murders are multiplying... 
  Bookstore owner and witch, Lily Michaels, is prepared for takeoff. She’s on cloud nine after finally obtaining her permit for broom-flying lessons. But her excitement comes crashing down when she stumbles over another dead body. All she wanted to do was discuss flower arrangements for her upcoming wedding—however, somebody had other plans for the unfortunate florist. 
  At the crime scene, Detective Gage Erikson, a.k.a. Detective Cutie, discovers a menacing message on the floor of the flower shop. Its target: Lily—he’s sure of that. Though he appreciates Lily’s extraordinary abilities, his puzzle-loving fiancée has a unique talent for attracting trouble. This time, he’s determined to keep her out of the investigation. Is this message meant to throw him off the scent of the killer? 
  Keeping Lily out of a murder investigation is like telling the sun not to rise. It’s not like this will be the first time she bends—okay, breaks—the rules. Suspicions and threats are sprouting like mushrooms in a dank shack. Flying high can lead to falling far—and this time, her life’s not the only one on the line. Can Lily follow the clues and solve the puzzle of the florist’s death before her dreams of a happily ever after with Gage end up as dead as last year’s roses? 
  Broomsticks & Blooms is the tenth novel in the A Book Store Cozy Mystery Series; although each book can be enjoyed as a standalone, it is best to read them in order. It is a small town, cozy mystery that guarantees the culprit is caught. Happy listening!
