A Fiancée's Guide to First Wives and Murder by Dianne Freeman
4.0
Another fun mystery in the Countess of Harleigh series by Dianne Freeman! The audiobook version is definitely worth listening to because the dry humor is expressed so well by the narrator. From the start, this is a rollercoaster ride with an unheard of French wife showing up on Frances’ doorstep claiming to be her fiancé’s wife. When she winds up dead, Frances and George are the likely suspects. Hoping to clear their names, Frances goes off on her own to investigate the mysterious woman’s past and her connections to Russian royalty and the theater.
Frances and George are enjoyable characters that have kept me invested in this series. It’s going to be amazing if the two can manage to get married without a dead body showing up. Frances’ aunt is an enjoyable character as well and I liked her December/May romance in this story.
There were a few spots in the middle where the story slowed down somewhat for me, hence the 4 stars instead of 5, but I thoroughly enjoyed the story and it definitely picked up as the mystery unfolded. With several suspects, witty humor, a compelling mystery, and the irresistible relationship between Frances and George, I definitely recommend this story and series. Can’t wait for the next book in the series!
