Flower Shop Mysteries

The first book in the Hallmark series. Booke Shields from Endless Love is the flower shop owner and former lawyer. Brennan Elliot from UnReal is the former detective who now owns a bar. They have some chemistry. Shields is a little stiff in the first film,  but gets better. IMDb writes, "Abby Knight returns to her small home town as a NYC lawyer. On the day of her flower shop opening, her car gets damaged by someone fleeing a murder scene. She soon meets a charming bartender and partners with him in the search for answers." All in all, I say: SEE IT

The 2nd movie in a Hallmark trilogy on their mysteries channel. IMDb writes, "Abby Knight is a beautiful ex-attorney and proprietor of Bloomers, a quaint Illinois flower shop. When she receives a mysterious order for black roses to be delivered to the law department of the local university, Abby, having a colorful history with the school and a daughter who is currently a student, decides to deliver the flowers herself. Upon her arrival, Abby crosses paths with an old law school rival, only to find him murdered in his office shortly after their encounter. When Abby's fingerprints are found on the murder weapon, she becomes the chief suspect in a dramatic homicide investigation, finding herself hounded by a hard-boiled detective and pursued by a relentless reporter. When things heat up and start looking bad for Abby, she decides to conduct her own murder investigation, enlisting the support of Marco, a handsome bar owner and ex- private investigator. With Marco's help, Abby gathers and interrogates a list of suspects, including school faculty and their wives and lovers, each having a plausible motive for committing the grisly crime. With a killer on the loose - and a budding romance with Marco beginning to sizzle - the flower shop owner-turned-sleuth struggles to solve the case and prove her innocence, before it's too late."The two of them act much better than the first. All in all, I say: SEE IT

The third and most recent movie in the Hallmark trilogy. IMDb writes, "Abby Knight, ex-lawyer, crime buff and owner of Bloomers Flower Shop, is having a week to be reckoned with. A reluctant bridesmaid at wedding, Abby ends up not just doing the flowers, but having to find out who murdered a wedding crasher.".They are both getting better at their characters. There is still a lack of romance, but maybe there will be another movie in the series. All in all, I say: SEE IT
