3.5 ⭐️ Book 6 in the series finds Krissy trying to solve yet another murder. Vicki & Mason's wedding is coming up, which means the parents come to town. Krissy goes to the airport to meet her dad and his girlfriend Laura, Vicki's parents... and an entourage of unexpected people. One of these is the "wedding planner to the stars" who drinks coffee and pops espresso beans like it's her job. Quite a bit of tension in this one, which left me thinking... if that were me I would have a WHOLE lot to say about anyone interfering with my wedding or my life like that. In typical Krissy fashion, she finds the murder victim and promptly makes herself a prime suspect...lol. This girl has NO luck. She stumbles onto everything, which I find very humorous in these books, and then is praised as a great murder solver. lol Finally, we get to the bottom of why Will has been so distant and that's totally fine with me because I am Team Paul!! I really like having Krissy's dad making more appearances and hope that his girlfriend Laura catches the bouquet at Vicki's wedding AND adopts Misfit!! ;) Taking a break to read some Christmas books but will finish this series in the new year!

Krissy does it again. This time, it is all about a necklace.

  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? No
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

This book followed the events planning up to Vicki's wedding. Krissy came to the airport to meet her dad and Vicki's parents and was greeted with a surprise. As usual Krissy comes across a dead body and the story happens. I really like this series because I feel like the characters are relatable and there's just something really good about it. I also love the love interests and that whole side plot!

I feel like if you like The Cupcake Shop mysteries, Joanne Fluke's mysteries and the Flower Shop mysteries you'll enjoy this one.

Looking forward to the next!

I would also like some recommendations of books similar to this as most of my series have come to an end!

Vicki is getting married. Krissy is in charge of the parents. The brides mother brings along her own famous wedding planner to redo the entire wedding. Krissy is trying to keep everyone in line, but someone gets past her and kills the wedding planner. Now Vicki can have the wedding she wants but Krissy still needs to figure out who the killer is so no one else dies.

This was the first book i read in this series and it' was a pleasant and enjoyable read.
The plot is interesting and it kept me guessing, the cast of characters is likeable and I found some minor characters funny.
I really like the description of the small town and the relationship dynamics.
On the negative side I found that the heroine sometimes acted like a doormat and that was a bit I didn't like.
Many thanks to Kensington Books and Netgalley for this ARC

I really like some of the characters in this series but it’s been feeling a bit flat for me. I’m still not giving up on it, though.
