A quick read that you can finish within a few hours or in one sitting, depending on your reading speed. Charming and very Hallmark-ish.

I really enjoyed the story and the main characters were very likeable. I thought the villain was a bit predictable and wished that a certain plot twist had occurred that didn't.
SpoilerThe murder victim had a twin brother who could have just as easily been the child's father and given the plot a bit of intrigue.
Mostly though, it was a great escape to a small town in southern USA.

(Second Reading, because of forgetfulness)
Echoing what I'd said previously and adding that the story oozes southern charm.

Carly is a photographer who is tasked with taking and curating a photo shoot of the marriage between two absolutely awful people - one whom she had previously dated. When the groom-to-be ends up dead, Carly puts together the pieces of the mystery to determine his true murderer.

Fun and sweet, this is a lovely story about a mystery in a small town, with all that it entails.

The real enjoyment, though, doesn't come from the mystery itself (as it's usually the case in cozy mysteries) but from the cast of characters and their interactions. And the characters are fabulous, and not only that: you'll get some very easy, tasty recipes at the end *laughs*

A delightful read to enjoy while curled- up with a piece of cake =D

Cute

Nicely written, well laid out. I liked that we got to know the characters before the event happened. Usually it's the other way around.
