The author really wanted to write the start of a nice cozy mystery series set in a bed and breakfast where all the rooms are themed after types of orchids, but in all honesty, it fell flat. The mystery wasn’t bad, as far as mysteries go, but the characters were cardboard cut outs, following their designated roles woodenly and you never really got to like anyone. The romance seemed forced as well, making it a fast read but not one where I will be looking for book 2.
