With all the guests at Sara and Sean’s wedding suspected of murder, her walk down the aisle will need to wait…

Everything is going perfectly on the big day until Sara opens the door of her bridal suite. Darlene Day, who made the wedding cake, falls into the room, a serving knife plunged into her back.

As the organists start to play “Here Comes the Bride,” Sara calls a pause to the proceedings. There’s a murder to solve, and the motive may be in the icing.

Darlene wasn’t the most loved person in the small town of Cotton Spring Falls, but rumor has it that she refused the offer of a big franchise to buy her bakery. Did they go so far as murder to put her out of business?

But when it’s discovered their wedding cake was poisoned, Sara and Sean could have been the intended victims all along. Did Darlene stumble upon the killer’s conspiracy and they silenced her before she could reveal their secret? Is it someone on the invitation list or the mysterious wedding crasher?

As long as the coffee is hot, and Sara has Sean and her beagle, Magnum, at her side, she isn’t going down in a heap of tulle and lace.

Wedding Bells Brew Murder is a closed-room mystery in the fashion of the great Agatha Christie that fans of Emma Davies, Verity Bright, and Helena Dixon will enjoy reading.

My Thoughts:

The day of Sara and Sean’s wedding has finally arrived! These two have been whisked through a whirlwind since meeting and I expected nothing less than excitement on their big day. But I was shocked at the murder of the top baker and wedding cake maker at the venue. Carolyn Arnold certainly knew what she was doing when she grabs your attention from the very start.

Sara and Sean are the IT couple of the town, locking their wedding down tight due to their newfound financial freedom thanks to Sean’s inheritance. But now that their wedding is postponed, they’re discovering that not all is rosy as they investigate people they thought they could trust.

I loved the assortment of quirky characters who are often charming and unbelievable as a suspect. We also get to see a new dynamic between Sean and Sara — as well as with Sara’s mother. It adds new layers to the storyline, helping blur everything going on so that I was blindsided by the true culprit!
