The cover of this book is filled with clues that let a reader know what is inside. If a reader likes the cover, they will, I think, like the story that is inside.
So, pictured here are isolated real estate, letters, and a couple, all of which will be featured in the pages of this novel. The people are Kate and a man who is important to her. The envelope holds an invitation to a wedding. The real estate is for the destination wedding. Will everything go smoothly? Certainly not for a while.
Kate has agreed to attend her ex’s wedding. Events most clearly do not go according to plan. As readers quickly learn, the bride has been murdered. Kate needs to figure things out, after all, she is a mystery writer as well as having personal connections here. One of these connections is a past romantic regret.
Readers are offered both mystery and romance in this book that has liberal doses of both. It is told in a somewhat breezy style. Those looking for a light read might want to give this hybrid a look.
Many thanks to NetGalley and St. Martin’s Press for this title. All opinions are my own.
