Probably too much romance for me but I do like crime solving books.

Thank you for the review. Like someone else mentioned in the comments, I think I would have to read the first two books in the series in order to have more a of a feel for this world. I like that this is a romance and mystery book. Hopefully the first book will be just as good :)

The author did a very good job of making it a standalone. Hope you enjoy it!

This plays off like a dinner murder mystery. I like that the story is about her wedding and the honeymoon and then...Bam someone is murdered. Who donnit? I will be checking this out.

It is a nice blend of the two. Hope you enjoy it!

A sweet love story with the opportunity to showcase some detective chops - seems like a wonderful story is cooking. However, I don't think it can be read as a standalone novel, hence, I will pass this one. Thanks for the review!

I liked the combination of the two in one book. Hope you will too!

I thought that was a unique place for the author to put the murder! Hope you like the book.

Sounds like you enjoyed this despite the large cast of characters (which is incidentally one of my pet peeves as well.) Thanks for introducing this one to us.
I have not read the previous books in this series. I thought the author did a great job of giving just enough information and references to previous events to give the reader the idea of what had happened without giving any spoilers!
I was wondering about that as I read your review. It sounds like the author gave enough background info but that doesn't always happen.
Life without a good book is something MrsCatInTheHat cannot imagine.
