Mayhem at a Halloween Wedding

A Halloween Bookshop Mystery, Book 2

De: Emmeline Duncan

Narrado por: Emily Durante

It's Halloween year-round in Elyan Hollow, Oregon, where Bailey Briggs sells the latest tomes of frights and fears at the bustling Lazy Bones Books—when she's not uncovering deadly secrets and mysteries that haunt the town....

There's more to celebrate this Halloween when Bailey's college friend Raven prepares to walk down the aisle in spooky seasonal style. As a bridesmaid, Bailey is overwhelmed helping with wedding preparations while the annual holiday festival scares up business for her bookstore. She also finds herself playing peacekeeper between fellow bridesmaids Colby and Ivy, whose arguments add even more conflict to the already simmering tensions within the wedding party between the groom's traditional family and the bride's bohemian parents.

Bailey arranges the bachelorette party on the night of the Halloween parade. But running into several people dressed as the Grim Reaper turns out to be a bad omen. An explosion rocks the route, causing a panic. When the smoke clears, Ivy is found dead, believed to be murdered—and Colby is questioned by police after several witnesses report the very public clashes between the two bridesmaids. Narrowing down the list of suspects to prove Colby's innocence means Bailey will have to find a motive—and keep her friend's wedding bells from becoming funeral knells....

Perfect for an October cozy!!!

I love this author, whenever you’re feeling down, picking up one of Emmaljne Duncan’s cozies transports you to a lighter place, full of kindness (except for the murders of course) and inclusiveness and charm. I’m looking forward to the next installment of this series!

Murder at A Halloween Wedding

Mayhem at a Halloween Wedding is the 2nd wonderful book in Emmeline Duncan's Halloween Bookshop Mystery. Bailey Briggs runs her family's bookshop, Lazy Bones Books in Elan Hollow where it is Halloween all year long! Her friend Raven and fiance are having a Halloween wedding and because Bailey is local she helps with the events. Raven's sister Harmony and her Maid of Honor ivy are both difficult and cause problems. Bailey's best friend Colby is also a bridesmaid in the wedding because Raven, Ivy, Colby and Bailey all went to college together. There is a Halloween parade that goes horribly wrong and Ivy is found dead. Of course everyone is in costume at the parade which complicates finding the culprit! Bailey's dog Jack is a fun addition to the story as well as newcomer Finn. I had the audiobook which I enjoyed although two names sound the same (Aaron, Erin). The narrator Emily Durante does a great job! #MayhemAtAHalloweenWedding #AHalloweenBookshopMystery #Kensington #Audible
