As Val herself becomes a suspect in the murder investigation, she’s determined to uncover the truth. Who would want to kill the mild-mannered president of the orchid society?Turns out the list is longer than a celebrity chef's tasting menu. Apparently some of the residents did not "love thy neighbor."
