Description
In the latest Tourist Trap mystery from New York Times and USA Today bestselling author, Lynn Cahoon, bookshop café owner Jill Gardner contends with a best friend-turned-bridezilla while trying to solve a local historian’s untimely date with death . . .
At Coffee, Books, & More, Jill’s the boss. But as Amy’s maid-of-honor, she can barely keep up with marching orders--and now she’s in charge of organizing an epic bachelorette! Adding to Jill’s party-planning panic, the South Cove Heritage Society just unceremoniously dumped her historic landmark bid. While vying proposals rush in from a loaded land developer and a pushy travel guide company, Jill finds an unexpected ally in Heritage Society expert, Frank Gleason. But their happy union is cut short when Frank is mowed down in a suspicious hit-and-run. With Amy’s big day on the horizon, Jill vows to catch the killer before she has to catch a bouquet.

This is book 11 in the Tourist Trap Mystery series. In this installment, Jill is busy helping her friend Amy get things ready for her wedding, and keeping her shop going. The. She receives a letter in the mail, saying that things with the mission wall have been stopped. Then right after she has finished talking to Frank, the man over the mission wall, about having her ignore the letter she received, he’s hit and killed. She soon starts getting people asking what she is selling her house for, and people messing with her shop.
This was another great installment in the series. Going back to this book and these characters is like getting reacquainted with old friends. It is well written and funny, and the story jumps off the page. I definitely recommend this entire series if you haven’t read it.

This is my favorite series by this author. I love this town and enjoy the characters. Although, I always find the aunt irritating. Good heart but a pushing character. There is a lot going on in this book, but it never gets confusing.
Thank you to the author, publisher and NetGalley for my eARC in exchange for an honest review.

What's going on with my favorite cozy mystery characters? They all seem to be involved with weddings right now...bride, maid of honor, wedding planner, caterer...everybody is hung up on weddings! Maybe it's because these books will be released in time for June wedding season. That being said, even with 2 (count them 2) weddings, Ms. Cahoon presents us with an, as always, interesting mystery and murder. I enjoyed seeing what the returning characters are up to and look forward to what elements the new folks will add to the series. A great way to keep the series fresh. I always look forward to the new adventures of the South Cove residents!

A really enjoyable mystery series with characters I’ve grown to really like.
Jill owns a book/coffee store in California, is involved with the local detective, has great friends and her cantankerous aunt, who’s very dear to her. In this latest novel Jill’s best friend Amy has gone from her usual mellow self to bridezilla, and Jill is finding it hard to take. Not only that but her long awaited approval to designate her house a historic landmark is suddenly denied. Add to that a new murder, and Jill has too much on her plate, but as usual, she’s determined to solve the mystery. A Light hearted read, and the mysteries are always interesting. I recommend the entire series, but you don’t need to start from the beginning and can read each book as a stand-alone, and still really enjoy them.
