Keeper of the Bride is one of those old school romantic mysteries. You know, the ones where guns have unlimited bullets and when the hero gets shot he still manages to save the girl before he finally gets dragged off to hospital under protest.
It's good entertaining fluff. Well worth a look but only if you like fluff. I for one do.
This book contains two stories.
Story 1 has a young woman whose wedding was targeted by a bomber, joining forces with a detective to hunt down the bomber.
Story 2 has an English gentleman joining forces with a cat burglar to thwart the murderous plans of an evil business tycoon.
Cliches abound.

Лек роман, страхотна двойка и заинтригуваща мистерия. Исках мистерията за кого се опитва да убие главната героиня и как е свързано с бомбовите атаки да бъде по заплетена защо имаше потенциал други до нея да бъдат замесени като доведения й баща или нещо от миналото на годеника й. Също така, връзката между Нина и Сам беше по забързана от колкото очаквах. Имаха техни характерни черти но можеха да бъдат още по показани но заради екшъна беше много по настрана. За кратко, много ми хареса динамиката между Сам и Нина, емоционалната им връзка и как той зачита каква е тя като личност и че я оценява по най хубавия начин.

I really like this new series by Mary Higgins Clark. Fun cozy mystery to curl up with. I only wish the heroine would commit to Alex!

Not bad. I liked this one better than the last Under Suspicion novel and much, much better than the last few (non Under Suspicion) novels that MHC has written on her own.

It was just okay. A decent read if you’re into a murder mystery. It felt a little bit far fetched
Spoiler
I guessed who the killer was halfway in but it was a good read and you can tell the plot was well thought out. I just found it far fetched that the motive was plain jealousy. Idk it could’ve been better I guess

Bruh.
I do this to myself at this point.
Major spoilers.
Let's pass over every single viable suspect just to have an outlandish ending.
Ex groom who would inherit two million dollars if she was declared dead? Nope
Best friend she stole an idea from and who was in love with the ex groom? Nope
Random guy she rejected ten years ago who is somehow also a serial killer preying on the groom's relationships? Yeah, that works.
And let's save you from a killer gunman by having you metabolize the drugs real real fast.
And fuck attorney client privilege bu the way. Let's pretend it's not unethical for the attorney to tell his client's name buisness to a complete stranger because he "feels bad" about the situation.
At this point in the series, I've recognized that the characters aren't even bad, they're just annoying.

Another good book in the Under Suspicion series! Threw me off for what happened with the crime. Sometimes it can be easy to predict what happened, especially after reading these books for so long, but I enjoyed this story in this series. Wasn't my favorite out of the three I've read so far but still a good time

Not quite the page turner that The Cinderella Murder was, but I will read the rest of the series.
