Review:
The characters are well rounded and well developed. Mel and Angie are continuing to make plans for Angie’s big day. But not everyone is feeling the love. Mel’s old friend wants to break up with her fiance so she wants Mel to take him breakup cupcakes. When Mel finally tracks him down, he is dead. Mel and Angie will have to figure out who the killer is so the girls can get back to wedding plans.
The writing style flows smoothly and the book is an easy read. The author is very talented in her descriptive writing and these descriptions allowed me to see in my mind’s eye all the action taking place. The mystery was well plotted and not easily solved.
I would highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a well rounded cozy mystery. I am really enjoying this series and cannot wait to read the next one.
