Murder is a Piece of Cake by
Elaine Viets is the eighth book in the “Josie Marcus, Mystery Shopper”
mystery series. Publisher: Obsidian, November 2012
As a bride-to-be, Josie’s latest assignment is
absolutely fitting—investigating wedding flowers and wedding cakes. Josie can’t
wait to pick out the details to make her own wedding perfect, even as her
fiancé Ted’s outrageous mother has plans to turn the celebration into an
over-the-top extravaganza. Still, the pistol-packing Lenore does come in handy
when she draws her gun on Molly—a homicidal bridezilla who threatens to kill
Ted unless he agrees to marry her—and saves the day. Josie thinks the
worst pre-wedding disaster is behind her—until Molly is shot and Lenore becomes
the prime suspect. With her mother-in-law behind bars and her wedding on hold,
Josie’s about to become fully engaged in finding the bridezilla killer and
getting her own wedding back on track.
I love this series. I enjoyed
watching Josie investigate the murder of a stalker bride while continuing to
plan her own wedding. The strong plot kept me entertained as the mystery kept
me guessing and the humor and romance of Josie and Ted played out on the pages.
Elaine’s words are so vivid that, it made me feel like I was part of the
action, rooting as Josie closed in a killer and cheering as her wedding day
approached. Boasting a great cast that includes lovable Josie, handsome Ted,
maturing Amelia and her mother Jane, this is the best book yet in this
delightfully charming series and I can’t wait for the next adventures with
Josie and her new family life.
