Order of Flower Shop Mysteries Books
American author Kate Collins crafted the Flower Shop Mysteries, a beloved cozy mystery series featuring Abby Knight, a law school dropout who trades legal briefs for flower arrangements. Abby operates Bloomers Florists in the charming town of New Chapel, Indiana, but her quiet floral business soon leads her down the path of amateur detective work.
Collins launched this engaging series in 2004 with Mum's the Word, and continues to delight readers with new installments. The Flower Shop Mysteries books should be read in their original publication order, which follows the chronological sequence of Abby's adventures:
