I was struck by the parallels between this book and the one I reviewed last week on Stuff and Nonsense, The Language of Flowers. Both feature a florist as a main character, and both of the plots heavily rely upon communications using flowers as a code.
But those are the only similarities between the two. Abby Knight, the florist who is the protagonist of the Flower Shop Mysteries, lives and works in the small town of New Chapel, Indiana where she grew up. She and Marco Salvare, owner of More...

I pre-order this series before the announcement even dries. Yes, I have the next one on my list to order which should tell you, This book was fabulous.
Abby and Marco our Private Investigator couple, who own a flower shop and bar as well, are caught up in a personal case as they attempt to plan their wedding (and, I better receive an invitation.) Grace Bingham, an employee/friend of Abby's "Bloomers," walks into a murder scene of her friend, the wealthy Mrs. Newport and the po More...

This series keeps getter better and better every time I read the next book. In this caper, Abby gets to “snoop”, oops, I mean investigate on behalf of her friend, Grace when she becomes the prime suspect in her wealthy friend’s death. Not only does Abby have to split her time running her shop, investigating a murder, but also she has to navigate her upcoming wedding preparations and her fashion consultant cousin. I love this series and this was the best one yet. This smartly written mystery k

You already know I loved To Catch a Leaf but I truly believe this is the best book Kate has written. This story is multifaceted and complex and perfectly paced. There are twists and surprises along with the comfort of the characters we have all grown to love.
When reading about Marco's mom trying to overtake the wedding I had to pause and think "did Kate ever meet my mother?" While we are not Italian reading about Francesca was just like conversations I had with my own mothe More...

All is looking rosy for flowershop owner, Abby Knight; she just announced her engagement to the hunky Marco, owner of Down the Hatch bar and grill and her flowershop, Bloomers, is finally showing a profit. Yep! Life is definitely good . . . . . until she hits the cat or at least thought she did. This mysterious kitty will play a large part in the story.
When Grace Bingham, Abby's assistant, receives a considerable inheritance from her friend, the wealthy Constance Newport, she is More...

To Catch A Leaf is the twelfth book in the A Flower Shop Mystery series.
Things are great in New Chapel and Abby is feeling great as she has been able to announce her engagement to her hunk Marco. She is looking forward to letting everyone at Bloomers, her flower shop, know the good news.
Once at work, Grace, one of workers, needs to change her lunch hour to visit a elderly friend. So at lunch time Grace head to see her friend Constance Newport, a very wealthy resident of N More...

To Catch a Leaf is the first book I have read in the Flower Shop Mystery series and it won’t be my last. There is enough mystery, love and suspense to keep me guessing and reading to the very end. Even though this was the 12th in the series, I was never lost or confused. It can definitely be read as a stand-alone.

Actually a 3 1/2 star read, but GR doesn't do half stars.
This is one of my favorite series. A lot of times, series start off well and sometime around or after book 3 or 4, they just become dull. Maybe the author is bored of writing them? But this series continues to really be wonderful- the last two books are as good or better than even the earliest ones.

A very good addition to a series that got steadily better with each book. I still think her cousin is way more annoying than entertaining - nobody is truly that stupid. But the cast of characters are fun and the plot was good - enough red herrings to keep me from guessing until the end. I'm looking forward to the next one.

Yet another great installment in this wonderful series. I don't often give 5 stars but this whole series definitely deserves it. It just keep getting better and better. I love the continuity between books as well. This one certainly did not disappoint. The characters are great, as always, and the plot was very clever. Had me guessing throughout, and not one of my guesses was right LOL

A nice, entertaining read – quite quick, and I got sucked in and had to stay up late to finish. I thought I had it figured out about halfway through, but there was a bigger twist that I didn't see coming. It's dangerous owning a flower shop, yo.

An entertaining read. I like that Abby was fairly careful of her safety. Not stupid like some heroines. There was a bit of an interesting twist at the end. I will be looking forward to the next in the series. I have missed some previous ones and I will be looking for tbem.

Fun visit with Abby, her family and friends. Multiple plot lines each with motives for murder. The actual killer surprised me, I was sure it was someone else. Thought the Lindsey character was unnecessary - I prefer a more down to earth resolution. Love Abby and Marco's relationship and his efforts to both support her and protect her in spite of her impetuous actions. Really liked the role flowers played in this story. Eagerly awating the next one.

I love this series. Local author and local references add to the fun in reading. It is so enjoyable having the area I have spent most of my life inhabiting woven in and around the mysteries.

Interesting story. Editing was horrible, Abby's Mom comes to shop at 3:30 with glasses, several hours later at "3:30" Mom shows up asking about prices on glasses - really. At Down the Hatch - they are eating homemade manicotti, then Abby take a bite of her hamburger.
