Will Killers Crash the Wedding of the Century?
Meg’s brother is getting married and their mother is working on turning it into the wedding of the century. However, Meg’s nephew, Kevin, comes to her with a request for help. Kevin and a friend have started a true crime podcast focusing on cold cases, and they think one of their episodes hit too close to home since someone has tried to kill Kevin’s friend. Meg begins investigating the most likely cases. But can she figure out what is going on before the wedding?

Longtime fans of this series know this isn’t the first time we’ve seen Meg at weddings involving peacocks. However, this isn’t a retread in any way. And, if you are new to the series, you can jump in here and enjoy the antics. With three cases for Meg to consider, there is plenty to keep her hopping. I was hooked the entire way, even though I suspected where the stories were going. For the record, I was right on some things and wrong on others. The climax was a little weaker than I would have liked, but it was a minor issue. We have the usual large cast of characters, and it was fantastic to spend time with them. There may not be a laugh on every page here, but there are some classic moments that made me laugh. This is a delightful book that will please Meg’s fans old and new.

The Weekend Before the Wedding was an enjoyable, light (in a good way!) read.
Set over two timelines: the present day as Shelley dresses for her wedding, and twenty years earlier on her hen party.

Shelleys’s best friend organises a weekend in Spain at Shelley’s aunts house, joined by her very serious mum, her other aunt and Shelley’s cousin.

It doesn’t get off to a great start from the moment they all meet at the airport, and it gets worse when they arrive in Spain.

Shelley’s very rich fiancé is staying in an exclusive hotel nearby, with his family and a friend. On their first night in Spain, Shelley gets a very strange text message from his phone.

This is a hilarious book with some great, relatable characters (particularly the aunt that uses a mobility scooter - she gave me Benidorm flashbacks!). It portrayed the importance of good friends and family who all support one another.

I’d definitely recommend this as a pick me up!
