Description:   Hustling her fiancé off to a neighboring tourist town might be the only way Jill Gardner can plan her nuptials to South Cove’s in-demand police detective. But when a mystery man turns up dead at South Cove’s PD, Greg is hightailing it back home to investigate, leaving Jill to finish the vacation solo.

Jill can barely get in a spa day before her own respite is spoiled by a greedy hotel guest and unexpected revelations about Max Winter, the developer conniving to buy her home out from under her. Then there’s the staffing issues at the store, the strange men seen lurking about town, and an aggressive and obnoxious family member harassing Jill’s beloved employee. It’s enough to make the bride-to-be full of jitters . . . especially when she finds herself in the crosshairs of a killer . . .

Genre:  Mystery - Cozy

Why I Picked This Book:  I enjoy this series and of course I had to pick up the next one.

My Impression:  I really love this series.  I love Jill and the town of South Cove and the atmosphere of the bookstore.  I will, however, be really glad when all the weddings are over and done with.  Amy was a bridezilla before her wedding and she hasn't quite calmed down yet.  I'm glad Jill and Greg are finally talking about things but I do wish Jill would get out of her head a bit about the wedding and marriage in general.  

The mystery was interesting and there were a few different things going on in the book and Jill's new employee is having family issues and Greg is trying to determine just who the victim and and who could have killed him.  This was a well plotted and interesting read that kept me reading and pulled into the story.  When I pick up a book in this series I expect an entertaining read and this book definitely delivered!

Would I Read More of this Series/Author? Of course!  I have enjoyed all the books I've read by Cahoon.  

Would I Recommend this Book?  If you like bookish cozies this is a great series to pick up and while you can start anywhere in the series it's even better if started at the beginning.
