Brooke Shields returns as flower-shop-owner-turned-sleuth Abby Night in the second installment of the Flower Shop Mystery movie series – Flower Shop Mystery: Snipped in the Bud, Sunday, April 24 at 9pm ET/PT on Hallmark Movies & Mysteries. Based on the bestselling series by Kate Collins, the movie also stars Brennan Elliott and Beau Bridges

Abby (Shields), a former lawyer and proprietor of Bloomers, a quaint Illinois flower shop, receives a mysterious order for black roses to be delivered to the law department of the local university. Having a colorful history with the school and a daughter who is currently a student, Abby decides to deliver the flowers herself.

Upon her arrival, Abby crosses paths with a former professional 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.

When things start looking bad for Abby, she decides to conduct her own murder investigation, enlisting the support of Marco (Elliott), a handsome bar owner and ex-private investigator, her best friend, Nikki (Kate Drummond) and her father, Jeffrey (Bridges). With their 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 – Abby races to solve the case and prove her innocence, before it’s too late.

The third installment of the Flower Shop Mystery franchise, Flower Shop Mystery: Dearly Depotted is scheduled to air Sunday, June 26 on Hallmark Movies & Mysteries.
