Review: Mum's the Word

Mum's the Word by Kate Collins
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Synopsis: 

I don't mean to meddle, honest! But can I help it if my nose for injustice is as keen as my green thumb? Now I, Abby Knight, law school dropout, am the proud new owner of Bloomers, my hometown flower shop. I'm devoted to making my business grow, but I'm no shrinking violet if someone needs my help to right a wrong -- even if that person is already dead....

So maybe Abby's life isn't the bed of roses she was hoping it would be. She adores her job, but a new low-cost competitor is killing her profits - and a black SUV just rammed her vintage Corvette in a hit and run. Determined to track down the driver, she accepts the help of hunky ex-cop Marco Salvare. But their budding relationship is threatened when the trail turns deadly. Now Abby is caught in a tangle of menacing phone calls, police corruption, and murderous road rage. If she's not careful, the next flower arrangement might be for her own funeral. 

My Thoughts:

Cover/Title: The cover is a bit busy but it's ok. I like the play on words in the title. Perfect for a book that revolves around a florist.

Characters: The MC Abby is definitely a meddler, which is perfect for a murder mystery.

Plot: Poor Abby is having a hard time. A lot of crazy things are happening to her all while she is trying to solve a murder mystery and help a friend in need.

Overall: A nice cozy little mystery perfect for that day when you want something easy to read.
