Mallory runs a B&B in a mansion she inherited as well as a wedding/ event planning business. As she’s helping her friend Bev plan her wedding, she’s yet again accosted by her nemesis, the mother in law she almost had. Mallory and Bev have just purchased an antique lace wedding veil and Helene tries to snatch it from them claiming it’s hers.
I enjoy the premise of this series and have read each one. The story line in each book progresses well and the mysteries are good and so is the authors ability to cleverly hide who committed the murder, but the women characters themselves drive me crazy. I forget each time how much I can’t stand the mother and the sister, the things they say to Mallory, and how she takes it instead of making them stop. In fact most of the female characters in Mallorys world are too much over the top. I can’t understand why the author lets Mallory be harangued book after book. My other complaint is describing each persons outfit each time, because most of their styles in fashion seems horribly outdated. Having said all this I will continue to read the series for the mysteries alone.
