I was given a copy of this book by Netgalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review.

Maggie gets suckered into being in her coworker's wedding. As the maid of honor, no less, and that comes with an ever-growing list of responsibilities. Add an aggravating cousin of the bride who is a horrible bridesmaid who has the audacity to end up dead, and you've got a doozy of a time!

I liked this book so much! The characters are fun, and the mystery was interesting. I will definitely read more of this series!

This is one of my new favorite series. I love the mix of humor and the tightly plotted mystery. In this book Maggie has been coerced into being Maid of Honor for her co-worker Vanessa, who is marrying Rufus Durand, Maggie's nemesis. Not only is Vanessa a bridezilla, she is also eight months pregnant, and her list of demands for Maggie is long and ever changing. Add to the mix a murder and Maggie has her hands full trying to not only get the bride to the church on time, but keeping her out of jail. I cannot get enough of this series!

I received a complimentary copy of this ebook from the publisher through NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

I am not sure why I never got around to this one because I loved the first one and this one was just as fun as the first one!!

Maggie works as a tour guide  at the Doucet and also helps her family run their B&B. Not to long ago they thought their B&B might not make it after three dead guest, but they have survived. Now if Maggie can survive her fellow tour guide's wedding as she is like the bridezilla of the century.

Maggie pretty much got the job of Maid of Honor by default as in nobody else wanted to do it and now she has figured out why because Vanessa pons everything on her. She is always adding to her list of Maid of Honor duties to the point that Maggie was about to her to find someone else.

When Vanessa's cousin shows up she ponds her on Maggie so they have to put up with Ginger and her two assistants as she is a interior designer. She also seems to be one of those that isn't afraid to sue you over anything or making it up. Van warns Maggie to check her stairs, and it didn't take long for Maggie to decide she was not a fan of Ginger. Then Ginger ends up dead and there are a lot of suspects.

The new interim police chief (Rufus got himself in trouble and put on suspension) seems to have it out for anyone and everyone. When he realizes that Bo, a detective, is friendly with Maggie he takes him off the case. This puts a lot of pressure on the police as even though they are good men, they are not detectives. So Maggie starts snooping around a bit trying to figure out more about Ginger and Bo does some work on it too with a friend in Texas, as that is where Ginger was from.

I really liked the storyline with this series that involves Bo's little boy as he is autistic and a really good painter. He has selective mutism which just means he decided to quit talking and things that happen with him is just so sweet. I also love the puppies and kittens and well just everything is great. :)

I really like Maggie and and her whole family. Her grandmother is a lot of fun! Very southern and kind of old fashioned but at the same time very ornery. I really felt sorry for her and how things have been going with Bo, they kind of have to keep things secret because Rufus hates Maggie and he would not be happy with his cousin dating a Crozat.

This has a really good mystery though I did figure it out. I couldn't figure out exactly why the person did it until Maggie figured it out.
