Ok, but the lead, Marla, is not really appealing. She feels it's her calling to search for justice. Her meddling might have even caused another death! But oh well, cause she's getting married? Really?
She just ran all over being very annoying but not in a cute, Colombo type way but really obnoxious. She needed to calm down. I felt she was way too pushy and even contemplating breaking into a building. She was just unlikable, honestly. Plus she could not stop talking about her religion and how they did stuff. I love religion and studying it but don't need a lesson when I'm attending a funeral in a book. At this point, it's the twelfth installment, we know her religion and it doesn't need to be taught to us again.

This whole series has been a lot of fun.
In this installment, Marla not only does hair for a wedding, but is a bridesmaid and finally a bride. At crunch time for her own wedding plans she is also trying to solve a murder. Marla takes multitasking to a whole new level. Dalton really understands her need to be in the middle of things and his daughter Brianna has a great relationship with Marla. I am so happy this new family is coming together.
The family dynamics at work in both Marla’s case and Jill and Torrie’s are very entertaining. Marla knows just how to handle her own relatives and her future in-laws. Torrie’s family and friends are so dysfunctional the suspects in her death are many and when the culprit was revealed this reader was quite surprised.
This is an ideal cozy mystery full of murder, mayhem, humor and romance. It is so fast paced you will read it in one sitting, just as I did. This book is definitely the perfect book to “escape into” this winter, it will warm you right up!
