Review of Tastes Like Murder A Fiona Quinn Mystery by C.S. McDonald

The bridesmaid dresses are ruffles and ruffles of ugly, one bridesmaid is trying to micro-manage…well, pretty much everything, and the bride-to-be is a total bridezilla! Wedding bells will soon be ringing but as usual Fiona is a bridesmaid and not a bride. As the maid of honor, how can Fiona keep the volatile pre-wedding festivities running smoothly? The problem is abruptly solved when the bride drops over dead at the elegant wine-tasting wedding rehearsal. Yikes! Who poisoned the wine? The suspects are lining up, and Fiona finds herself at the top of the list! Double yikes! It’s a vintage murder case for Fiona, Detective Landry, and the gang. Cheers!

MY REVIEW:

TASTES LIKE MURDER IS BOOK 4 IN THE FIONA QUINN MYSTERIES.  IT IS JUST AS ENJOYABLE AS THE OTHER 3 BOOKS.  THIS IS A CUTE, SUSPENSEFUL, CHARMING AND FUNNY MYSTERY SERIES.  I LOVE FIONA WHO IS CHARMING, SMART, FUNNY AND VERY GOOD WITH SOLVING MURDER MYSTERIES.

IN TASTES LIKE MURDER, FIONA IS THE MAID OF HONOR FOR HER COUSIN'S WEDDING AND BECOMES A SUSPECT WHEN HER COUSIN IS MURDERED.  OF COURSE FIONA WILL NOT STAND BY AND WAIT FOR HER BOYFRIEND, DETECTIVE LAUNDRY TO SOLVE THE MURDER AND PROVE SHE IS INNOCENT.  

THE FIONA QUINN MYSTERY SERIES IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE SERIES.  C.S. MCDONALD HAS CREATED THESE WONDERFUL CHARACTERS WHO ARE WELL DEVELOPED, FUNNY, CHARMING AND ONE OF KIND.  I REALLY ENJOY HER WRITING  SHE HAS A WAY OF DRAWING YOU INTO A STORY AND HOLDING YOUR ATTENTION THROUGHOUT THE STORY.  THERE ARE SO MANY TWISTS, TURNS AND SUSPENSE THROUGH THE SERIES.  I REALLY LOVE THIS SERIES AND I ENJOY ALL THE CHARACTERS EVEN THE GHOST.  FIONA AND HER MOTHER ARE ALIKE IN SO MANY WAYS.  EACH LOVE SOLVING MYSTERIES AND STICK THEIR HANDS IN CASES THEY SHOULD NOT BE INVOLVED IN.  THERE ARE SO MANY LAUGHABLE MOMENTS.  IF YOU HAVEN'T READ THIS SERIES YET, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOU DO SO.  YOU WILL ENJOY IT AS MUCH AS I DO.  YOU WILL LOVE THE AUTHOR'S WRITING.  5 STARS
