Review of Matrimony Mayhem and Murder A Fiona Quinn Mystery by C. S. McDonald

The venue is set, invitations sent, and the flowers ordered. It’s almost time for Fiona and Nathan to get married…again. What could possibly go wrong? Nothing…well, until the wedding planner is found dead. Then the woman Fiona has never met shows up--Nathan’s enigmatic mom, Rita Landry. And she’s wearing a gorgeous but mysterious necklace. Worse, Rita is being followed by two sinister-looking men, forcing her to flee the country. Who gets dragged along? None other than the bride-to-be! How does a girl prepare for all of that? Looks like Fiona’s perfectly planned matrimony has morphed into mayhem and murder! You’re formally invited to Fiona and Nathan’s wedding. Question is: Will the wedding happen?

MY REVIEW:

MATRIMONY MAHEM AND MURDER IS BOOK 10 IN THE FIONA QUINN MYSTERIES.  THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE SERIES BY AUTHOR C.S. MCDONALD.  FIONA AND NATHAN'S WEDDING DAY IS FAST APPROACHING AND EVERYTHING HAS BEEN DONE.  ALL FIONA AND NATHAN HAVE TO DO IS WALK DOWN THE AISLE.  WHAT POSSIBLE COULD WRONG? MURDER OF COURSE. THEIR WEDDING PLANNER IS FOUND DEAD AND FIONA'S BROTHER IS ACCUSED OF MURDER.  FIONA MEETS HER FUTURE MOTHER-IN-LAW WHO IS BEING FOLLOWING BY TWO CREEPY MEN FOR A STOLEN MYSTERIOUSE NECKLACE.  WHO IS RITA LANDRY REALLY?

MATRIMONY MAYHEM AND MURDER PULLS YOU INTO THE STORY IMMEDIATELY AND YOU WILL NOT WANT TO PUT IT DOWN.  THE CHARACTERS, STORYLINE AND TWISTS ARE SO MUCH FUN AND CREATIVE. I FOUND MYSELF LAUGHING OUT LOUD WITH THE ANTICS AND TROUBLE FIONA GETS IN.  THE STORY BRINGS BACK THE OLD CHARACTERS ALONG WITH NEW ONES. I LOVED THE NEW CHARACTES AND IT BROUGHT SO MUCH MORE TO THE STORY. THE FIONA QUINN MYSTERIES ARE A SERIES YOU MUST READ.  THE STORIES AND CHARACTERS ARE SO ENJOYABLE AND FUNNY.  YOU WILL LOVE C.S. MCDONALD'S WRITING.  5 STARS
