102) Dirty Rotten Tendrils by Kate Collins

The Blurb :

When high-powered lawyer Ken "the Lip" Lipinski is found dead from a suspicious overdose, florist and amateur sleuth Abby Knight finds it hard to swallow that his opposing counsel—and her old boss—is the murderer.

My Thoughts :

I am a little behind on this cozy mystery series and seeing as I was taking part in a read-a-thon, I decided to get some dusty books off my bookshelf to read instead of grabbing the Kindle. It was nice to visit Abby again. Her crazy family, her loyal workers and her special guy. This time around there was some interesting developments in Abby's relationship and a horrible cliffhanger ending regarding their future.

Dirty Rotten Tendrils is the tenth book in the Flower Shop Mysteries and I have enjoyed each and every one of them. The author manages to keep the plot unique, exciting and worth reading and the characters extremely likable. I am quite invested in this series and can't wait to read the next ones. I am very curious to see how things develop for Abby and Marco as well as what happens with her shop and family.

A nice cozy series and one that you can definitely get your teeth into. The flower aspect isn't too overwhelming and the author offers some depth to the whole crime area of the story.



                 

88) Sleeping With Anemone by Kate Collins

The Blurb :


Maybe Abby Knight shouldn't have chosen a home and garden show sponsored by Uniworld Food as the venue for her protest against the corporation's harmful farming practices. But being bodily removed from the event won't stop her campaign. Nor will a burning brick thrown through her flower shop's window.

After she narrowly escapes being kidnapped three times, Abby calls in the big guns-her ex-Ranger boyfriend Marco and her friends and family. And then the stakes are raised by murder...

My Thoughts :

As any regular reader of Amberkatze's Book Blog knows, I like a good cozy mystery now and again. So this 9th Flower Shop Mystery has been on my shelf for a long time. Actually I haven't visited this series for a while now and when I was looking for a book to carry around this week I decided to go see what Abby Knight was getting up to.

It was great to visit this series again. I had no problems getting back into it and I enjoyed it a lot. The plot, as always, was well written and I got caught up in things pretty quickly and found myself sneaking in a few pages whenever I could. It was really fun to read about Abby's relationship changes with Marco and the ending make me smile.

Now I hope it won't take me as long to get to the next book in the series. It is sitting on my shelf as well and I will make sure it doesn't gather much more dust. A good cozy is always a nice read inbetween the vamps and weres. This is one series I seriously like and book ten is going to be added to my bag soon!
