Kate Collins-A Flower Shop Mystery Series


Kate Collins writes a series about a girl named Abby Knight. She owns a flower shop named Bloomers and is definitely a meddler. She meets the owner of a bar, Marco and he helps her as she works her way through the messes that she gets herself into.


Mum's The Word by Kate Collins

This is the first book of the series and I have to say, I am hooked! As soon as I finished it I had to start the next one (see below). This book started out strong, grabbed my attention with a hit and run and held my attention all the way through. I thought there was a good mystery, great characters and a wonderful story line. Once I started it, I could not put it down and read the whole book in a day.





Slay It With Flowers by Kate Collins

The second book in this series was not quite as good as the first one although I did enjoy it. There was still a good mystery to it but it was not as catchy. It felt a little slow and boring and took me a few days to read. I am still excited about this series though and I hope the third one is more like the first one!




I had no idea how big this series is so I will be trying to get my hands on the rest of them so I can see what other trouble Abby gets herself into! I can not wait!!!!

  3. The books just get better and better, Libby, I promise. Two have made the New York Times bestseller list. I'm working on book #15 now. I think you'll enjoy watching the relationship between Abby and Marco grow, too. Thanks for the mention!
