Welcome to Desert Bloom, Arizona, where life is usually as predictable as the desert sunrise. But when a local art collector turns up dead with a prickly pear cactus planted firmly in his prize-winning rose garden, the town is thrown into a state of hilarious disarray. Enter Maggie Mae Sharp, owner of the local bookstore and reluctant amateur sleuth, along with her two best friends, Sarah and Louise. Together, they must navigate a tangled web of eccentric suspects, hidden motives, and desert oddities to solve the murder before the real killer pulls the plug. As Maggie and her friends delve deeper into the mystery, they uncover secrets that threaten to shatter the peaceful façade of Desert Bloom. From shady real estate deals to long-standing family feuds, everyone seems to have a reason to want the victim gone. But with their friendship put to the test and the clock ticking, can Maggie, Sarah, and Louise find the killer before they become the next victims in this laugh-out-loud whodunit?
