Book Reviews of Dearly Depotted (Flower Shop Mysteries, No. 3)
Book Review: That'll Ruin A Wedding
Summary: 4 Stars
A wedding, love in the air and a dead body in the gazebo. What else could go wrong?
Abby Knight, owner of "Bloomers" hadn't thought things could get worse. Not only was she the florist at the wedding, but a bridesmaid (In a hideous clown gown) and grandma sitter, for the 90 year old grandmother of the groom.
Plus she had to convince her cousin Jillian (a many times engaged but never made it to the altar, bride) that she really, really, really did want to marry Claymore Osborne.
Then the groomsman she was paired with is injured and can't make the wedding and Jillian expects her to find a substitute.
Fortunately, her "boyfriend" Marco Salvare, owner of "Down The Hatch Bar And Grill" agrees to escort her down the aisle.
Then she loses grandma at the reception, only to find her outside at the gazebo having found a dead body, which turns out to be Jack Snyder, who had recently got out of jail.
Who would want this former jailbird dead?
What about Jillian's cousin Melanie who Jack had gotten pregnant and then dumped her, never seeing or supporting their daughter.
Or Melanie's father, Josiah (Just because he got into a fight and beat Jack up in the middle of the wedding shouldn't put him at the top of the list should it?)
But the police seem to be more interested in Richard Davis, who was dating Abby's friend and employee Grace. It's Grace who asks Abby to help find the real killer before Richard is tried and convicted of a murder she's sure he didn't commit.
Highlights:
This is a wonderful series. This is the third book and it just keeps getting better. Abby is a very believable character.
Her boyfriend Marco fits perfectly with her. He doesn't constantly tell her to stop investigating, but instead, (as a former cop) helps her all he can.
Abby's family. Everyone except her father is crazy, but you just love them.
Nikki, her best friend and roommate, employee's Grace and Lottie, clients like Trudee DeWitt and her wonderful cat, Simon have all become more involved in the storyline. In the first book, Abby was pretty much a lone wolf, doing everything herself and didn't have a lot of interaction with other characters, but that has improved over each book.
Pryce Osborne - Abby's former fiancee, and brother of the groom, who dumped her when she dropped out of law school. He is such a jerk that you just love the zingers Abby sends his way.
Lowlights:
I did figure out the killer a little before Abby, but that doesn't interfere with the story at all.
Abby could use a little more backbone when dealing with her family.
Overall a very good entry in this series.
