Who doesn't love those "Bridezilla" shows that are so
popular these days? But what happens when the wedding
planner is the "zilla" in the room? Chances are the results
will be exciting!
When Skye Denison agreed to be the maid of honor at her
younger cousin Riley's marriage, she had no idea that she
would be expected to become the assistant to the "wedding
planner to the stars," Belle Canfield. Skye resists at
first, but relents in order to please her family,
especially her beloved grandmother.
Pulling off a "Platinum" wedding in Scumble River would be
tricky at best. Add in dealing with the slightly maniac,
very controlling Belle, and Skye finds herself scurrying,
carrying out the planner's orders and demands. But when
Belle is found dead in the refrigerated flower storage
unit, the wedding plans screech to a horrific stop.
As the police investigate the murder, Skye lends her
expertise as a psychologist to help her boyfriend, Police
Chief Wally Boyd, to try and figure out who hated the
beautiful but bossy wedding planner enough to kill her. And
with Belle gone, it falls upon Skye to finish all of the
wedding preparations for her cousin. Throw in a snooty
matron of honor, a pack of wacky relatives, and an Elvis
wedding, and it's soon apparent that Skye is going to
pulling her hair out at some point before that bride gets
down the aisle. This is probably not a good time for Wally
to propose.
You have to admit, there's never a dull moment in Scumble
River!
Author Denise Swanson once again lends her talent for
writing a fast-paced, suspenseful and fun cozy mystery with
her 12th book in the Scumble River Mystery series, MURDER
OF A WEDDING BELLE. Fans of the series will enjoy
revisiting the quirky but loveable characters who inhabit
the fictional town of Scumble River. First-time readers can
quickly catch on to the action with plenty of back story.
School psychologist Skye Denison is already in a tizzy of
indecision contemplating her boyfriend Wally's marriage
proposal when she very reluctantly agrees to act as maid of
honor in her California cousin's over-the-top platinum-style
wedding. What's more, she's expected to assist the
control-freak wedding planner, which means being available
to help 24-7. There goes Skye's much-needed summer break....
Then Skye discovers the flawlessly chic wedding planner
lying not so flawlessly dead less than a week before the big
event. Suddenly Skye is working double duty on two fronts:
making sure every elaborate nuptial detail is executed
perfectly, from the butterfly release to the martini luge,
and helping the police find out who hated the bossy bridal
consultant enough to bash her on the head. Can Skye get her
cousin to the church on time — and save herself from a
killer who may actually be on the guest list?
