A Bridesmaid’s Guide to Murder

An Emelia Walsh Cozy Mystery

By: Abigail Scott

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

She's paid to be your best friend on your big day... but she never expected murder to be part of the deal.

Emelia Walsh has one of the most unusual jobs on the planet—she's a Professional Bridesmaid. Armed with an emergency kit that would impress MacGyver, Emmy steps into strangers' weddings and becomes whatever the bride needs: a confidante, an emotional buffer, or a human fire extinguisher.

When Emmy arrives at the picturesque Evergreen Summit Resort for Monica Turner's winter wedding weekend, she's prepared for the usual challenges: wardrobe malfunctions, family tensions, and maintaining her cover as the bride's "old college friend." What she's not prepared for is the web of secrets, rivalries, and suspicious circumstances swirling beneath the perfect snow-globe setting.

When a shocking murder disrupts the wedding plans, Emmy’s role shifts from emotional buffer to amateur sleuth—all while dodging questions from handsome but infuriating Detective John Sutton, who seems both suspicious of her—and strangely interested.
In this charming first installment of the Bridesmaid's Guide to Murder series, Emmy discovers that when you make a career out of stepping into other people's stories, sometimes those stories include murder.

Efficiency of description; no slack to the plot.

Fast, clever, story telling, likeable characters, good formula for a series. Where is the next one?

Simple story line

The AI voice is terrible. I still listened to the book. The story is not bad it would be better with any human reading

I felt like it was hard to listen to because it was scattered.

It would have been better without virtual voice. The story line was ok. But I felt like it didn’t keep my interest because of the voice.. and I wanted more from Johns character.

Boring

This reads like AI. Artificial, unbelievable and boring. The relationships were confusing. Were they all college friends or was she someone they just hired? Idk super underwhelming.
