It sounds like an innocuous, cutesy idea. Have a doggie wedding to celebrate and promote the opening of a new doggie day care in town. What could go wrong? A great deal, actually.
Bernie and Libby brush off an email warning them not to get involved with the promotion. After all, most weddings have their share of drama and surprises....but no one expects murder. Vandalism is bad enough, and it spreads, but murder? Over a goofy doggie wedding promo? Or is something else involved?
There are countless twists and turns, then twists and turns back on the twists and turns as the plot progresses. The story moves along nicely and it would be difficult not to like Bernie and Libby. They seem to maintain their composure and rapid-fire senses of humor no matter what. True sisters, brave and there for each other although Bernie seems to be the gutsier one. Will they believe Jennie when she claims to have seen Tom's dead body in his car, only for no signs of either when the police show up? What could have happened to the body? Is the disturbed grave in the cemetery connected? Who is watching them? Who called the police on Jennie when they do find the missing car and body? Would you have had the guts to walk into the dead man's home and look around? What's with the sawdust on the floor? Well, he did work construction, right? Why are Bernie and Libby out in a violent wind storm?
And.... oh, so much more. I don't want to ruin the story for you so will only say, well, read the book. You'll enjoy the quirky, funny, and, oh, so likeable characters and find yourself quickly caught up in what turns out to be an intriguing plot.
Thanks #NetGalley and #KensingtonBooks for inviting me to visit with Bernie and Libby again. It's been awhile since I've drifted into their world. Loved the dog and recipes, too. Looking forward to their next adventure now that I've been reintroduced to them.
