My favorite
former-pop-star-turned-assistant-dorm-director-amateur-sleuth,
Heather Wells, is back and determined to have a murder free
academic year so she can focus on getting her long-delayed
bachelor\'s degree and planning her wedding to Private
Investigator Cooper Cartwright. As is typical in Heather\'s
world, nothing goes as planned. The school year hasn\'t even
started and the Death Dorm has claimed its first victim, a
Residential Assistant is found dead after an all-night party
hosted by the dorm\'s latest high profile resident, Crown
Prince Rashid Ashraf bin Zayed Faisal.
Heather is determined to find out the truth behind the RA\'s
death and Rascally Rashid\'s involvement in order to be sure
that her dorm residents are safe. But Heather is distracted
from her sleuthing by all the family craziness that
surrounds her wedding planning, not the least of which is
the unexpected return of the mother who disappeared years
earlier with Heather\'s hard-earned pop star money. Can
Heather get everything sorted out in time to enjoy her long
awaited walk down the aisle?
THE BRIDE WORE SIZE 12 is a fun, flirty read with just the
right amount of mystery. I have enjoyed every book in Meg
Cabot\'s Heather Wells mystery series and this fifth book is
no exception. Heather\'s pop star history and the strained
relationship with her mother have been in the background of
the series so seeing them confront these issues head-on was
a treat. Heather manages her family and sleuthing with her
trademark snarky humor, inner strength, and honest
self-awareness. I thoroughly enjoyed how Copper and Heather
have settled into a loving committed relationship and how
they managed the wedding mishaps they had to face.
Heather Wells is used to having her cake and eating it
too, but this time her cake just might be cooked. Her
wedding cake, that is.
With her upcoming nuptials
to PI Cooper Cartwright only weeks away, Heather's already
stressed. And when a pretty junior turns up dead, Heather's
sure things can't get worse—until every student in the dorm
where she works is a possible suspect, and Heather's
long-lost mother shows up.
Heather has no time for a
tearful mother and bride reunion. She has a wedding to pull
off and a murder to solve. Instead of wedding bells, she
might be hearing wedding bullets, but she's determined to
bring the bad guys to justice if it's the last thing she
does . . . and this time, it just might be
