Can’t Heather go anywhere without being caught up in a murder investigation?
After enduring an unexpected test to her sleuthing skills in Edinburgh, American Heather Munro looks forward to attending a restful family wedding in County Cork, Ireland. But delight turns to dilemma when the bride’s ex-fiancé shows up pleading for a second chance…then dies under mysterious circumstances.
Heather’s travel itinerary didn’t include snooping through family secrets or being caught up in international politics, but she can’t stand by when a rush to judgment points the blame at an innocent man and derails the upcoming nuptials. An outsider in the stunning harbor town of Cobh, Heather’s determined search for answers is thwarted at every turn. But Heather has never been one to give up, and she’ll do all she can to get the wedding back on track and the murderer behind bars before he or she strikes again. Even at the risk of her own life.
Inspired by the famous Girl Detective, the members of the Olentangy Heights Girls’ Detective Society, affectionately known as the Nosy Parkers, spent their formative years studying criminology, codes, and capers. Opportunities to practice their unique skills were thin in their little corner of post-war suburbia, so they eventually grew up to pursue more sensible careers. Yet mysteries seem to follow them wherever they go.

Summary
From: Rebecca Maney
Book Title: The Case of the Beleaguered Bride Book Author: Debra E. Marvin What do you like about this book:
"But curiosity killed the cat, Miss Munro."
Sleuthing is Heather Monro's natural inclination, but this vacation was all about matrimony. Not her own, mind you, but two of her best friends and their families have gathered in County Cork, Ireland for all of the wedding festivities. And then the bride's former beau shows up, tragedy strikes, and suddenly there is no wedding to be celebrated. Heather can only hope for a postponement, and not a cancellation.
This is a story where everyone is a suspect and no one is a suspect. Leave it to Heather to ask too many questions. It's a good thing there is a silver lining in this whodunit tale and his name is Tom. Her Tom. Her maybe forevermore Tom.
This author has such a witty, charming, and oh so clever cozy mystery voice. Her readers will demand more of these two! They're absolutely charming!
