Weddings can be murder!

Murder in Seattle is another hit (#3) in the Northwest Cozy Mystery series by Dianne Harman. Within hours of her wedding, DeeDee’s sister is coping with the murder of her uncle- in-law Vinny! DeeDee and her boyfriend Jake and Uncle Vinny’s bodyguard band together to sort out the many suspects to solve the murder. The story is well written with twists and turns. The narration by Anna Wheeler is great. She brings the story and characters to life.

Well done

This is another winner. Usually she writes about things from her background, cooking, yoga, antiques, etc. so when this started wth the mafia, I wondered how she came to writing this, for those are always interesting. Good narration added to the story.
Given audio for my voluntary review

Murder near a wedding reception

Rich man murdered during wedding reception plenty of suspects. Was it due to local problems or the mafia

Something old, something new and somebody murdered

I enjoyed this book. The story starts with the murder and then goes back in time , with the lead up to the murder and you are introduced to a number of suspects before the murder is solved. This can be a bit confusing if you are not use to the authors style of writing but otherwise works well. I am listening to this series as and when they come out so not in the correct order, so it was great to finally met Al who plays a big part in later books, he is such a great character and so larger than life. The mystery it's self gives you plenty of suspects, the one thing I didn't like so much was the sudden ending, it seemed to just abruptly come to an end with an usual out come, although with the job involved it wasn't unexpected.
DeeDee's little sister is getting married and having her dream wedding all paid for by the Grooms Uncle Vinny. DeeDee is shocked to learn that Vinny made his money by belonging to the Mob.The ex mob man still has his fingers in a few pies and when he turns up dead at the wedding there is no end to the list of suspects. DeeDee gets a frantic phone call from her sister to say rather than going on her honeymoon the groom was being taken in for questioning. DeeDee and boyfriend Jake get some help from Vinny's bodyguard Al when they set out to clear the Grooms name.
I liked the narrator she uses distinct voices for each of the characters.
