I always enjoy Peter Diamond; but this case was particularly clever.
First: there is a prison riot/attempted break-out.
Then, several years later, the daughter of Joe Irving, a mob boss, & the son of a high ranking police official get engaged.
When the bride chooses high profile Bath Abbey as the wedding venue, Superintendent Diamond is given the unenviable & ironic task of protecting Joe Irving. The police department is worried that if news of the wedding gets out, a rival criminal gang will put out a hit on Irving, making the police look bad.
Funny, irreverent, and with a really engaging crime, KILLING WITH CONFETTI is a great whodunit. It kept me guessing, (I was wondering for ages how the prison breakout would tie in) and I’m glad I received a copy on Netgalley!

Police corruption, mobster mentality, and master detective skills are the highlights of this book. A brilliant mystery novel set in England with an unpredictable ending.
