Like Hallmark’s other cross-occupational mystery franchise The Gourmet Detective, the punny titles of the Flower Shop Mystery movies are actually the brainchild of the author whose work they are based on – the best of which, in my opinion, is this floral take on the phrase “dearly departed,” which is easily the most delicious pun among any Hallmark movie I have seen yet.
In the third of several Hallmark movies based on the novels by Kate Collins, Brooke Shields stars as Abby Knight, a lawyer turned flower shop owner turned amateur sleuth who takes it upon herself to solve the murder of an uninvited guest at the wedding she was serving as a reluctant bridesmaid for.
