Complete booklist for Kate Collins
10 titles, 2004 to 2010, ordered by publication date as the archived list had them.
Kate Collins is best known for the Flower Shop Mystery series, featuring florist and amateur sleuth Abby Knight and her ex-Army Ranger boyfriend Marco Salvare. The archived list, captured in 2011, ends with Dirty Rotten Tendrils (2010), and almost every title is a flower pun.
Collins held one of the network's author spotlight slots in 2011, which is probably why her page was crawled in full, book descriptions included. The opening lines of each description are kept below.
