While investigating on her own, she meets a charming ex-Army soldier, now a bartender, and partners with him in the search for answers.

Flower Shop Mystery: Mum's the Word is a 2016 mystery TV movie directed by Bradley Walsh and was shown on the Hallmark Channel. The TV movie's plot is a bit different than the book's. Abby Knight, with her teenage daughter, returns to her small home town as a NYC lawyer who lost her husband 2 years ago. On the day of her flower shop opening, her car gets damaged by someone fleeing a crime scene who may have committed murder. While investigating on her own, she meets a charming ex-Army soldier, now a bartender, and partners with him in the search for answers.

Flower Shop Mystery: Mum's the Word is a 2016 mystery TV movie directed by Bradley Walsh and was shown on the Hallmark Channel. The TV movie's plot is a bit different than the book's. Abby Knight, with her teenage daughter, returns to her small home town as a NYC lawyer who lost her husband 2 years ago. On the day of her flower shop opening, her car gets damaged by someone fleeing a crime scene who may have committed murder. While investigating on her own, she meets a charming ex-Army soldier, now a bartender, and partners with him in the search for answers.
