Wedding Bells and Deadly Spells by Danielle Garrett

Wedding Bells and Deadly Spells (A Touch of Magic Mysteries, #3)

by Danielle Garrett

A drop of poison is all it takes to bring the biggest wedding of the season to its knees.

Anastasia Winters adheres to the adage that the show must go on, but when the groom of her latest wedding drops dead before “I do,” she’s left with no backup plan.

Things get even stickier when her friend and esteemed caterer, Francois, is named the top suspect.

Ana's loyalties are tested as the investigation turns into a vicious tug-of-war. She believes Francois is innocent, but holding the other side of the rope is the lead detective—her serious boyfriend—and the more she struggles, the more her own chance at happily ever after starts to unravel.

It’s up to Anastasia to find the killer, while gripping tightly to her relationships before they break and leave her with nothing.

Wedding Bells and Deadly Spells is the third audiobook in Danielle Garrett’s A Touch of Magic mysteries series and picks up about 6 months later with Anastasia Winters walking through a dress rehearsal on her largest wedding yet.

The couple, particularly the groom, have been a nightmare, and she has even planned a post wedding celebratory dinner to mark its end. Impossible demands, all take the back seat when the groom dies at the altar and her friend is her boyfriend’s number one suspect.

Oh my, this was such an exciting installment. While these audiobooks may only be four hours long, Garrett sure packs a punch. We see development with key characters, relationships and get an interesting murder-mystery to solve.

Fans of Garrett will be delighted to see Holly, a potions master from Beechwood. I think this series and book are my favorite of Garrett’s. I cannot wait for more!

Amanda Ronconi did an excellent job with the narration, building on the suspense and capturing the characters’ emotions. This review was originally posted at Caffeinated Reviewer
