Rated: 5 cheeses

Carly and Ari are tying the knot! But as swamped as Carly is with wedding preparations, she'll make time to investigate to clear her mother's name after a spat at a fundraiser ends with a man dead from decidedly unnatural causes.

There's a lot going on in this book, enough that it felt like it could have been two books. There's a fundraiser, a fight, Ari's sister shows up demanding money, then Carly's mom is arrested, there's an investigation, a funeral, there's no getting bored here! I'm in the series deep enough I have no problem keeping track of who's who and what's going on and the action kept me turning page after page (and eating grilled cheese!)

This is a fun series and it was so exciting to see Carly starting her new life as a married lady. I look forward to seeing what's going to happen over the next few books!

Thank you to the author, the publisher, and NetGalley for providing me with an ARC.
