This was a decent read although I prefer the thriller without the romance. Gerritson creates atmosphere and pace really well. The characters are all a bit "formulaic" of thats the right word I didn't really care for any of them.

Très égal au tome précédent. Je n'ai malheureusement pas retrouvé mon engouement pour cette 2e découverte de Clark. Ca se lit bien mais sans plus, je trouve que le suspense n'est pas vraiment présent (je ne sais pas pourquoi mais on sent dès le début que tout finira bien).
Bref, ça fait un peu "réchauffé" et j'en sors un peu déçue.

Il se passe globalement la même chose : tous les proches sont réunis, on suspecte une ou deux personnes car tout porte à le croire et au final c'est un des personnages secondaires. Au moment où on a fait venir les deux amis du marié j'ai su que ça serait forcément l'un d'eux car il n'avait pas vraiment de lien avec l'enquête...marryallthepeople's review against another edition

I feel like it missed a whole chapter or something at the end...

Good ending but think it could have been played out a bit more!

I'd heard only good things about Tess Gerritsen, but found this disappointing.
The novel started with a bang (literally), but it was downhill from there. I found the characters one-dimensional and unbelievable; I can understand that circumstances like Nina's and Sam's may lead to relationships forming, but I found the outcome of their relationship a little unbelievable considering the bland build up.
By the end of the novel I was bored and glad it was over.

This is actually the 3rd Under Suspicion book which is a collaboration between Mary Higgins Clark and Alafair Burke (I've Got You Under My Skin and The Cinderella Murders), and this one is my favourite. Reminds me of Agatha Christie in terms of all the people involved (dare I say suspects?) being together for the majority of the time.

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.
