They thought everything in the world was perfect when Phoebe Renshaw and Owen Seabright married on a bright sunny day. Then someone shot the local chief inspector, but it was NOT Phoebe's lady’s maid Eva Huntford's beloved Police Constable Miles Brannock, the man who was locked up in jail by the man brought in by Scotland Yard. So the honeymoon was delayed and the newlyweds began their own investigation into this impossibility with the help of those relatives who knew this was not possible and had helped them with investigations in the past. Lots of red herrings and some really sneaky plot twists!
Nice escapist reading to see the bad guy get it in the end. I really enjoy this series!

I thought that this book was pretty good. I think it was a bit cheesy and a tad bit predictable at times, but it was still enjoyable and it kept me entertained while I was reading it. For me, I was able to guess pretty early on who the killer was, so that took away a little bit for me.


Thank you to NetGalley, to the author, and to the publisher for this complementary ARC in exchange for my honest review!!!

This was a strong ninth entry in the Lady and Lady’s Maid Mystery, it had that historical mystery setting that I was looking for and enjoyed the overall feel of this series. It had a strong mystery element to it and worked with what I was expecting from the previous entries. Alyssa Maxwell wrote this well and left me wanting to read more in this series.

A fun historical mystery with lots of twists and turns and many suspects. This book ends The Lady and Lady’s Aid mystery series. I particularly enjoyed this end to a perfectly lovely series.

Two Weddings and a Murder is the latest and last book in the Lady and Lady’s Aid mystery series by Alyssa Maxwell. It is one of my favorite books in the series and I have enjoyed many of them! It was a great ending to the series and really wrapped everything up nicely. The murder was lots of fun to figure out as there were lots of suspects and so many people with motives! The weddings were great also! I won’t give any spoilers, but long time readers of the series will be delighted with the ending! I hope Alyssa Maxwell will keep writing! Her historical mysteries are well written and really well researched and a real joy to read!

Thank you to NetGalley for the opportunity to review this book. All opinions are my own.

Lady Phoebe has just had the wedding of her dreams and is anxious to embark on her honeymoon till murder changes their plans. A London detective arrests a person whom all are sure is innocent. There are no clues but plenty of other suspects but who is guilty?

A good cozy mystery set up 1920s England. When Phoebe and Owen get married, they find out the local Chief Inspector was killed, and later their friend is arrested for the murder. Enjoyed this one, although the idea of servant loyalty seemed a bit odd at the end. Might just be me. Would recommend.
