Synopsis

Olivia Denis is hesitant to help an old family friend get ready for her wedding outside London. The so-called friend is a master at using people. As a young widow trying to find her way through a new romantic relationship, Olivia would rather avoid the large party.

She definitely didn’t plan to find the bride’s grandfather stabbed to death. The cruel, enormously rich aristocrat had changed his will only the day before, angering all his children.

But as Olivia is forced to investigate the murder, she’s called away by her employer, the owner of an influential London daily newspaper. She must carry out another secret assignment, one that will take her to Vienna, now part of Nazi Germany.

With war on the horizon and attacks on the old man’s family increasing, can Olivia find a way to save lives in two countries?

About Kate Parker

Growing up in a family of mystery readers, Kate Parker read Agatha Christie while her classmates read Dick and Jane. To this day, she can't see a routine place or event without cloaking it in mystery, complete with a dead body. Kate is fascinated with brooding historic buildings in Great Britain and Europe and the people who once inhabited them. This led her to create characters from other times to live, commit crimes, and seek justice in these beautiful old towns. She began writing to allow the cozy thrillers lurking in her brain to have their own existence. Kate is the author of the Victorian Bookshop Mysteries.

Goodreads review by Laura on September 02, 2020

Kate Parker hits all the right notes in "Deadly Wedding". An interesting and somewhat complex mystery (though I had a hunch either Walter or Margaret was the guilty party) has the reader picking up clues and piecing them together towards a solution with Olivia. Not only do I like the main character,......more

I missed book one of the series, so I don't know whether this one is better. Olivia visits her somewhat distant relatives for her "cousin's" wedding. Unfortunately, Celia's grandfather, the present earl and a nasty old man, is murdered just before the ceremony. The family decides that the wedding is......more

Wow…. As I mentioned in my review of book 1, I have loved reading all the series’ written by this author. In the second book, it was very close and personal to Livvy, and as the deaths kept happening, you can put a guess as to the motive but it isn’t u til the ending that you find out if you are righ......more
