Publishing September 2022.
I received a gifted copy and am providing a review. (Not my
picture.)
Rosalee – the bride. Rosalee comes across as shy, quiet, reserved.
She’s going to marry, Asher, the man of her dreams.
Elizabeth – the mother-in-law, at least she will be. She doesn’t
think Rosalee is good enough for Asher, can’t understand what he sees in her,
much preferring Georgia. She’s also a rich widow, which lends to her hoity-toitiness.
Mara – the best friend. Mara has been Rosalee’s best friend since
college. She is also helping plan the bachelorette party, leading to
disgruntlement between Mara and Tinsley, which Rosalee can’t understand until
she finds out the reason. Mara is also a troublemaker.
Tinsley – the cousin. Tinsley’s mom took Rosalee in when Rosalee
lost her parents, so Tinsley is more like a sister to Rosalee. They lost touch
when Rosalee went off to college, but reconnected at the party.
Georgia – the groom’s best friend. Georgia’s business venture is
failing … miserably. Rosalee begins to wonder if there is more to the
relationship between Georgia and Asher. Elizabeth gets to the truth of the
matter.
Bri – Asher’s sister, Elizabeth’s daughter. Bri is quite devious
and has a talent that no one knows about.
Can you imagine being in a room with all these different
personalities? The intriguing thing is, this book is written in six (6!)
different voices, all very distinct, all very much tuned into the different
personalities. (That takes a certain kind of talent.) Enter Detective Nina Smalls.
Will she get to the truth of the matter when no one seems to want to tell the
truth? And the setting for the party – the gorgeous Leblanc-Landry mansion in
New Orleans. This is another tale that includes some secret passages in an old
house (remember Cedar Farms?). The mansion holds secrets of its own, not just
secret passages. And the ending? Man, the ending … that was totally unexpected.
And, to top it off, a bright pink cover!
