Wedding disaster

Some cuss words Nutty mother-of-groom Pushy mother-of-bride That was a close one! Once again Lucy got herself in quite a situation, although this time it wasn’t because she was poking her nose into something better left for the police. 💒 👰‍♀️ 🤵‍♂️ Lucy’s best friend Sue is the mother of the bride, Sidra. The groom, Ron isn’t anything like Sue and her husband Sid thought he would be. He doesn’t seem like Sidra’s type at all. He’s quiet, rude to his mom, and seems like he’s hiding something. I questioned this all through this book. I wondered if he was an imposter for the real Ron or maybe a decoy. And he’s a millionaire, but things aren’t adding up. Lucy did jump to a lot of conclusions as far as trying to figure out who killed the victim. She completely lost it when she thought Sue was the killer. I guess there were just too many suspects and too many things on Lucy’s schedule already, so things got jumbled up in that brain of hers. I think Lucy needs a break. It’s cool to see Lucy and Bill’s four children growing. And the gazebo… sounds so lovely. I have always wanted one myself and I know theirs is amazing with many intricate woodwork details. 😍 Elizabeth and Toby are away at college and now it’s just Sara and Zoe at home, but I’m sure in several books from now they will also be leaving the nest. At least Lucy still has her wonderful husband Bill and the sweet boy, Kudo. 🐕 Next is Book 9 “Birthday Party Murder”

4th of July Murder

The title should have been 4th of July murder. This was a good installment in the series. I enjoyed reading about the rich and famous coming to Tinker's Cove. The conflict between Sue and Lucy was unexpected. I was surprised she suspected her best friend for a while. I do think Lucy should have pressed charges for the carjacking/kidnapping. She is too forgiving. All in all it was an intertaining few hours.

Great fun in a mystery series

Leslie Meier is a great mystery author. Her stories are fun and interesting. The only problem is I fly through them! They are great books though and I truly reccommend this and the other Lucy Stone mystery. Lucy Stone is a heroine that any woman can identify with. She is a housewife and mother with a awesome talent for getting herself into trouble!

Enjoyable reading

The whole Lucy Stone series is very enjoyable reading. Lucy is a very regular person with family issues that could apply to alot of people. Sometimes I wish she could have a nicer time of things, but then the story wouldn't be the same. The mysteries she solves are not huge conundrums, but I like to get an idea of who the killer might be before the last page sometimes! Not every mystery book needs to be the end-all of stories--just fun and easy is nice, too. And her series is definitely that. If you are looking for deep darkness, this is not it. But if you want a likable character and easy flowing story, here you go.

A fun cosy

The residents of Tinker's Cove, Maine enjoy staying away from the hustle and bustle lifestyle of big city living as found in Bangor or Portland. Crime is rare in the tiny hamlet, but when a homicide occurs all the locals know that Pennysaver reporter Lucy Stone can found be in the midst of the investigation. Currently, Lucy works on a more difficult project than murder. She is helping her best friend plan a wedding reception. Things go so wrong right from the start so that Lucy wonders if Murphy was an optimist, as he never had to deal with t wealthy groom's mother who has her own ideas that she expects implemented. The two families hate each other, but the townsfolk back the bride's side because the groom's brood is interfering with the local livelihood. When the groom's body is found floating in the nearby sea, a victim of murder, almost everyone within the town's radius had a motive, making a plethora of suspects for Lucy to learn who had the opportunity. The Lucy Stone mysteries engage fans of cozies as the violence occurs off stage leaving the heroine and her who-done-it inquiries to share the starring roles. Lucy, her family, and those locals the reader meet seem genuine and very likable some in a more crustacean manner. On the other hand, the odious groom's family feel more like Robin Lynch drawing caricatures of the rich and famous. Still cozy fans will enjoy Leslie Meier's latest Stone adventure.Harriet Klausner
