Enjoyable Reading

Jane and pal Shelley continue to find creative ways to get into trouble. I have enjoyed each of the Jane Jeffry books and it has been great fun to see her change with children growing up just as our children are growing up and we are changing. Fun reading

A fun series

I love the Jane Jeffry series. Each book has been exciting. This one was also fun and will make me see weddings in a whole new light for some time to come. The books keep getting better and better.

Jane Jeffry continues to be a fresh amateur sleuth

In Chicago, after attending a successful party thrown by Jane Jeffry, Livvy Thatcher decides to hire her hostess to run her own wedding party. Though not a professional party thrower, Jane agrees to arrange the April nuptials at Livvy's family hunting lodge. Livvy enlists the help of her friend and neighbor Shelly Nowack. Livvy and Shelly arrive early at the hunting lodge to make sure everything runs smoothly. They quickly meet the caretaker, a lazy, brooding Uncle Joe, who offers little help and seems to always vanish when they need him. They soon hear rumors of a hidden treasure and that a country club will be built on the site of the lodge. However, neither Livvy and Shelly could anticipate the problems that night starting with a storm that shuts down the electricity. That morning, the florist finds the body of the seamstress lying dead on the floor. Initially the elderly individual appeared to have slipped down the stair case to her death. However, the police find evidence that someone pushed the victim. Worried about the wedding, Jane and Shelly begin their own not so discreet inquiries. Both of the ladies are in for a surprise when another murder follows. The long running Jane Jeffry amateur sleuth series remains very fresh with its eleventh tale that highlights the lead protagonist and her best friend. Jane, Shelly, and Mel (Jane's boy friend) retain a midwest charm that augments an entertaining story line, which borrows elements from a modern gothic. The secondary characters are fun to follow, especially the wedding party. Jill Churchill continues to make the Jeffry novels some of the best tales the sub-genre has to offer.Harriet Klausner
