wedding mystery- reader mystery
"Wedding Cake Crumble by Jenn McKinlay is a novel of two women who solve murders that take place around their cupcake bakery. In this book, Angie and Mel are going around and taking care of wedding business. Angie's wedding business. As they go to pay accounts and check on orders they come across a murder...and then another. Someone appears to be taking out anyone working on this wedding. The two women do see the irony that not only do people tend to get murdered around them, but now are trying to stop the wedding through murder too. Stay away from these gals! And that is where my nook reader bit the dust. I tried to fix it and then wound up loosing this book. And I can't reload it. Sooo, it seems like a good book. Started off well. They probably solved the crime. They seemed to have plenty experience. You should check it out. Tell me how it ends. I received this book from www.firsttoread.com.

Spot of Tea
"Plum Tea Crazy" is the newest in the Tea Shop Mysteries by Laura Childs. Theodosia and Dayton own and operate a tea shop in Charleston and in their spare time they solve mysteries. When Theodosia and Dayton go to a friends party, one of the guests is shot by an arrow, falling off a balcony and landing on a fence spike. There are suspects aplenty. BTW, I have not read any previous books in the series and found it easy to follow.
The book reads much like a 'what if Nancy Drew opened a tea shop' way. Riley, Theo's boyfriend and a detective, for some reason allows her to have confidential information and to go to witnesses to try and solve crimes. Which I would think would get him fired and her to be tampering with a witness, but I guess in fiction when it comes to sleuthing you have to be flexible. Theo goes from suspect to suspect rounding up clues to solve the murder. Though the book doesn't always make much sense and I figured out the murderer quickly; it is well written and enjoyable to read. It is a nice book to read when you have enough stress in your life and just want to enjoy reading. I received this book in exchange for an honest review from First to Read.
