Better World Books August Book Drive Day 12

Murder of a Wedding Belle opens with Skye Denison reluctantly agreeing to be maid of honor in her cousin Riley's wedding. She quickly regrets that decision when she finds out that her duties include being at the beck and call of Belle, a very demanding wedding planner.  Just when it looks like things can't get any worse, Belle ends up murdered a week before the wedding and Skye must pull double duty- as a wedding planner to ensure the wedding goes smoothly and as a consultant for the police department to help find the killer.

As with the others in the Scumble River Mystery series, there are plenty of laughs and no shortage of suspects. The Doziers and Simon's mother Bunny provide much entertainment and the fight between Wally and Simon for Skye's affection provides some very interesting moments as well.

I did happen to notice when I grabbed this title off my shelf that I had two other Scumble River Mysteries that I had not yet read. I have no idea how this happened, but I am looking forward to reading them this weekend and then patiently waiting  hounding Denise Swanson until the next one comes out.
