Mystery
shopper Josie Marcus is surprised to land a plum assignment.
You see, usually her boss, Harry- The- Horrible gives her
the worst jobs he can find. Josie takes the assignments because
she needs the money. Josie is soon to be a bride and is looking
forward to the big day with her fiancée, Ted, the local
veterinarian. Therefore, when Harry gives her a job testing
out wedding flowers and cakes she jumps headlong into her
work. This can only be good, right?
In Josie’s
life is one thing is going good, it’s certain that something
else will go awry. This time, the problem comes in the form
of a woman stalking Ted, and declaring that she is his bride-to-be.
Then Ted’s mother, the gun-toting Lenore, saves Ted
when Molly threatens to kill him if he doesn’t marry
her.
Yet before
Josie and Ted can get their plans back on track, Molly is
shot and Lenore deemed the likely culprit. What else can Josie
do, but what she does best? Track down the killer herself
to clear her mother-in-law to be of murder charges.
As usual, Viets has constructed a fun and intriguing mystery,
and had me cheering Josie on as she does all she can to catch
a killer, plan her own wedding, and cope with her feisty mother
and increasingly testy daughter.
Fans
of the series will be delighted with this latest entry. It’s
a page-turner filled with love, romance, murder, sleuthing
and over-the-top family dynamics. You don’t want to
miss Josie’s latest romp through danger.
