Accompanying her friend Lucy on a trip to the Titans Hotel, gardener Paula Holliday takes the opportunity to write an article on the rare "corpse" flower on display at the hotel, but her trip goes awry when Lucy is detained and a would-be suitor turns updead.
"Something stinks to Paula Holliday, and it isn't just the corpse flower, titan arum, named for its off-putting fragrance. When Paula's friend Lucy asks her to tag along on an all-expense-paid junket to the Titans Hotel, it seems like a good idea. Paula even manages to squeeze a few bucks and a byline out of the local paper for writing an article on the titan arum, a rare flower that's just about to bloom and on display at the hotel. But when her friend is unavoidably detained, a would-be suitor is found with a gaping hole in his head, and the corpse flower refuses to bloom, the entire venture starts to seem like less of a good idea"--Jacket.
