Book three in the Miss Sharp Investigates series is
packed with madcap mystery fun as a group of Sunset Hall
elderly residents prepares for the wedding of their dear
housemate, Bernadette. Agnes, a former police officer, is
feeling a little down at losing one of her housemates, and
when a cryptic message arrives concerning the wedding, Agnes
goes on high alert to protect the bride and groom in AGNES
SHARP AND THE WEDDING TO DIE FOR by Leonie Swann.
Bernadette is marrying Jack, a former organized crime
contract killer, whom she recently reconnected with during a
holiday. The wedding plans kick into high gear when an
opening at the Foxglove Manor is suddenly available. The
manor is the premier place to have a wedding, and Agnes and
the group start planning a minimum of twenty-guest list. As
Charlie searches for guests and dates on the internet, Agnes
rounds out the list with the gardener, a former burglar, and
a private investigator. When everything seems to be going
well, a threatening note arrives at Sunset House, and all
bets are off. Who is threatening the bride and/or groom? And
why canβt Agnes forget the death of the Verger several
months before? Will Agnes and her group put all the pieces
together and identify the culprit before the big day turns
into a deadly disaster?
AGNES SHARP AND THE WEDDING TO DIE FOR is so much fun.
This ragtag group of elderly people is living out their
remaining years together with bravado and purpose. Agnes is
sharp, feisty, and protective as she tracks down the clues
and deals with her fellow residents. Sheβs engaged,
sort of, to Marshall, her biggest fan. But Agnes finds it
hard to answer to anyone and gets herself into many
precarious situations. Whether sheβs infiltrating the
Knitwits knitting group, tracking down a youth worker,
sneaking into the Vergerβs house, rifling through a
houseguest's luggage, identifying a hitman, finding a body
at a bus stop, hiding a body in a maze, or marrying off her
friend, Agnes does it with style. This mystery has many
twists and turns, and it is a calamity of body disposal,
questionable actions, and blowing everything up. Throw in a
turtle, a boa constrictor, and a wolfhound, and you have a
household of residents as wacky as they are fun. The writing
is witty, the dialogue flows easily, and the plotting is
perfectly paced with short action-filled chapters. In the
end, Agnes and her friends go out with a bang in this laugh-
out-loud, amusing series. AGNES SHARP AND THE WEDDING TO DIE
FOR is madcap fun at its finest.
