“Flower Shop Mystery: Mum’s The Word,” premieres Jan. 17, 2016, at 9 p.m. ET/PT. The movie stars Brooke Shields as a lawyer turned florist who faces an unexpected mystery.
Ever think the everyday dramas, heartaches and disagreements of your shop could be the stuff of the big screen — or at least some can’t-miss TV?
Hallmark Movies & Mysteries agrees. This month, one of three original mystery movies produced for the TV channel will center on the hijinks, intrigue and, judging from the title, bad puns, of a flower shop operated by Brooke Shields.
“Flower Shop Mystery: Mum’s The Word,” premieres Jan. 17 at 9 p.m. ET/PT. Produced by MPCA and Brad Krevoy Television, the movie is based on the novel by Kate Collins.
In the movie, according to a Hallmark synopsis, Abby Knight (Shields), “a lawyer turned flower shop owner, is starting over after the death of her husband with the support of her father and her daughter, who recently left for college. Life is good in the peaceful town of New Chapel, but when an SUV rams her prized vintage car, she’s determined to track down the driver. She begrudgingly accepts the help of a new neighbor, the handsome and charming ex-Marine Marco Salvare. But their budding relationship is threatened when an acquaintance is murdered and Abby’s good friend is the prime suspect. Caught up in a tangle of menacing phone calls, police corruption and murderous road rage, Abby must work against the clock to find the killer or the next flower arrangement might be for her own funeral.”
Check out the preview for the movie, which includes the ominous-sounding line, “She may own a flower shop, but murder just became her new line of work,” here.
