Book Review: The Wedding Plot by Paula Munier

The Wedding Plot
by Paula Munier (Munier)

Mercy Carr is getting ready for a 4-day extravaganza that’s called her grandmother’s wedding. Being held at an inn and spa she’s not looking forward to it. When her mother contacts her, she and demands Mercy find the director of the spa or Mercy will be dusting off her Yogi skills and leading the yoga class for the wedding guests. Mercy begins her search at his home. what she finds instead is a dead stranger stabbed with a pitchfork and that Bodhi, the spa director, isn’t who he said he was.

 

Concerned the murder might have something to do with her grandmother’s fiancé’s family she has to find out what’s going on before the wedding is ruined, or someone else is killed. I really like this series and this book did not disappoint. I’ve been concerned about how the author will keep the series fresh and I’m less concerned now. The use of the dogs Elvis and even Susie Bear does not seem out of place. The mystery is fast paced and well done. Though there’s some humor in the book, this is not a cozy. It’s can get quite dark and intense. If you like the character driven mystery, (with dogs) you’ll love this book.

 

(If you enjoy this, you may also wish to try One for the Books by Jenn McKinlay or Breaking Creed by Alex Kava.)
