Olive You to Death (A Tourist Trap Mystery, #16), by Lynn Cahoon


 Publication June 4, 2024

Let's see, missing bride, hidden treasure, and, oh, yeah, a dead body. I mean, it isn't like Jill doesn't have anything else to worry about, like her own upcoming wedding and finishing her MBA degree. And, oh, yeah, her aunt's pending retirement that will leave the Coffee, Books, and More shop solely in Jill's hands. Toss in a girl's weekend to celebrate the upcoming wedding and shop, not to mention have fun, and Jill's calendar is full. 

So, what happened to Mandy Jenson, the missing soon-to-be bride? Joel, her husband-to-be, is obviously a suspect but he's frantic and, quite frankly, driving Greg, Jill's future hubby and detective, crazy. How crazy? Crazy enough to pawn him off on Jill to keep him out of his hair. And, this is just the beginning of the story. Lots more happening, including miscommunications and loyalties being stretched, making the side-stories interesting, too. 

Bottom line, I like Jill and the supporting cast although Greg seemed to be a side-character throughout most of the story, go figure. I also like the fact that we see Jill reminded not to jump to conclusions, both about the murder and personal matters. A fun story with unique characters and intriguing side stories. Lots of romance and wedding talk in this installment, so be prepared to talk wedding sites, snafus, and more. Thanks #NetGalley and #KensingtonPublishing - #LyricalPress for letting me catch up with Jill and Greg again. Looking forward to the wedding!
