Friends and family of the bride and groom have gathered, and the celebration couldn’t be more perfect—until the power goes out during the reception.

Determined to prove that couldn’t be true, Harriet and Will pause their honeymoon plans to search for the missing antique brooch. As they interview witnesses and possible suspects, they realize there is more history to the jewelry than they ever imagined. And what happens when other valuable items disappear?

My personal Rating-
Definitely don’t look too close to the cover of this book or it will spoil the ending of the mystery! Because of this detail, this mystery wasn’t very exciting, but I was excited to see Harriet and Will’s wedding.
I will note that I thought both Harriet and Will jumped to conclusions so much in this book, they could have been at one of those jump park places with all the jumping they made. I’m shocked they didn’t ruin friendships with their different questions and accusations. I think I would have been completely hurt in those people’s shoes or perhaps I’m just too not confrontational and can’t image accusing a friend of stealing from me, but they weren’t too hurt over it once things were explained. This is obviously a minor complaint, but it was overall a decent story. Not my favorite of the series, but not a bad one.
See y’all on Wednesday with a new review!
