Summary

The joyous crowd applauds as the happy couple strides down the aisle. This Cotswolds country wedding has everything–friends and family, beautiful flowers and… murder?

When Julia Bird’s ex-husband Peter and his lovely partner Christopher decide to get married in Berrywick, Julia is delighted–after all, who doesn't love a country wedding? Little does Julia know that normally calm and collected Christopher will turn into a full-on Groomzilla–and that by the end of the night, someone will end up dead.

The morning after the big day, the jolly nuptial mood turns grim when Julia discovers the lifeless body of the caterer, Desmond. Someone locked him in the cold truck and the poor man froze to death. Now looking for a murderer, all eyes are on Christopher who, mid-tantrum, had publicly threatened to kill him. Convinced that Christopher is innocent, Julia vows to find the real culprit.

Julia soon discovers Desmond had a long list of enemies as she races against the clock to clear Christopher’s name. Could his death be the work of the respected wedding planner who was heard exchanging choice words with the victim? Or perhaps it was his wife–‘til death do them part–who didn’t shed a single tear at his funeral?

But just when Julia thinks she’s cracked the case, her prime suspect is found dead with a knife in their back. Can Julia find the murderer before they strike again?

An utterly gripping, charming cosy mystery set in the English countryside. Fans of M.C. Beaton, Faith Martin and Betty Rowlands will love the Julia Bird Mysteries.

Well written cosy mystery

A further well written great adventure in this cosy mystery series. Our amateur detective Julia Bird and her lovable, but naughty dog Jake are back. We see regular villagers returning and finally meet Julia’s daughter, find out more about her and seeing Julia’s relationship developing when she has returned from abroad.
I think this plot based around Julia’s ex husband’s wedding is one of the best so far and will leave you wondering till the end
Looking forward to the next one in the series.

Intriguing murder/mystery with plenty of twists along the way . I have enjoyed learning more
about Julie and her new life in the village . Always a good tale told .
