Wedding Bells Brew Murder - Carolyn Arnold
She read
I am a fan of Arnold’s writing, particularly the Madison Knight, Amanda Steele, and Brandon Fisher books. I was pleased to learn that she has branched out a bit in genre, starting a new cozy mystery series. This is the second in the Sara and Sean mystery series. I missed the first one. Although there are references to the case solved in that one, Wedding Bells Brew Murder works well as a standalone.
Sara and Sean, former police detectives, gave up their jobs when they fell into a fairytale life of an inherited fortune. Now, on their wedding day, the local baker, Darlene, who made their cake, is murdered just before their ceremony. When she makes her way to the bridal suite and says “icing” just before she dies, Sara and Sean are desperate to investigate. There are a few people who might have a motive to eliminate Darlene.
While I tend to choose the more hard boiled mysteries that Arnold usually pens, I enjoyed this story. With some quirky and interesting characters, it was a quick, engrossing read. I loved Magnum, the helpful Beagle with the great nose. I will certainly add this series to my other must reads of Arnold’s.
