Description: It’s wedding season in Cambridge, and Molly Kimball is thrilled that it's almost time for her best friend's special day. With the help of her boyfriend Kieran Scott, she is determined to be the best maid of honor for Daisy and Tim. Daisy’s heart is set upon a Shakespeare-themed wedding to be held at Hazelhurst House, Kieran’s family’s home. The Scotts are also hosting a Shakespeare troupe for the summer, and the actors have kindly agreed to be part of the festivities.
But all goes awry with the discovery of Sir Jordan Peck, a famous actor with a checkered past and present-day misdeeds, floating dead in the moat with flowers strewn around him, à la Ophelia. When Kieran’s brother Alan becomes a top suspect, Molly and company must investigate to uncover the ugly truth behind this picturesque scene . . . before more bodies keep piling up.
Can Molly solve the murders before Daisy and Tim say “I do”?
Genre: Mystery - Cozy
Why I Picked This Book: I've enjoyed the previous books in this series so of course I had to pick this one up.
My Impression: Molly is spending more time at the castle as she helps her boyfriend, Kieran's, family organize the library and prepare for the wedding of two close friends. On a beautiful morning she and Kieran's mother, Lady Asha, and the bride to be, Daisy stumble upon a body in the moat in full Ophelia mode. Molly is quickly pulled into the investigation both to get things settled before Daisy's wedding and to keep Kieran's brother, Alan, out of trouble.
This is a fun series that is so cozy it feels indulgent. I mean there's a library in a castle, a 400 year old family owned bookstore, and a cat. What not to love? Add in a hefty dash of Shakespearean actors (some with rather scandalous pasts and all with hidden agendas) and an assortment of likable main characters and I always enjoy my visit to Molly's world. There's a side plot involving Molly's aunt which I very much enjoyed as well as some regular life scenes.
The mystery is enjoyable and I always love catching up with the characters. The series isn't one that really sticks with me but it is one I always look forward to reading.
Would I Read More of this Series/Author? Definitely! I've enjoyed everything I've read by this author and look forward to reading more.
Would I Recommend this Book? If you are a cozy mystery fan this is definitely a fun series to try though I do recommend starting from the beginning of the series.
