Grade: B
Reason for reading: review for MyShelf
Blurb (from back cover): "Caught up in a whirl of champagne and china patterns, bride-to-be Lee McKinney has butted heads with her future mother-in-law over every detail of the wedding bash. The last thing she needs is trouble with her own mother. But this is bigger than the hot versus cold hors d'oeuvres debate: Sally McKinney doesn't even want to be at the wedding if it takes place in Warner Pier, her hometown.
"Irked that her mom might be MIA on the Big Day, Lee heads to her aunt's chocolate shop, TenHuis Chocolade, for advice. There, the bride is shocked to learn that years earlier, her mother ran away on what would have been her own wedding day-hours before her fiance was found dead, an apparent suicide. Now to smooth things over with her mother-and ease her own way down the aisle-Lee must untangle a mystery older than she is..."
Opinion: Not a bad mystery. Probably would be better if I had read it more together than reading a chapter here and there over the weekend. For a complete review, please check out MyShelf next month.
