Mayhem at a Halloween Wedding by Emmeline Duncan

Mayhem at a Halloween Wedding by Emmeline Duncan is an absolutely perfect cozy mystery for the upcoming fall and spooky season!

This cozy mystery checks all the boxes! It’s the Halloween season and festival in the quaint town of Elyan Hollow, Oregon. Bailey Briggs runs the Lazy Bones Bookshop. She’s also helping to organize her friend Raven’s wedding.

It’s a Halloween-themed wedding – after all, Elyan Hollow is a year-round Halloween destination. The Halloween season is the the biggest draw, bringing in tourists to enjoy the festivities and soak up the charm of the town. Things are bustling!

Even though things are seriously busy, Bailey isn’t worried about the upcoming wedding. What’s there to worry about – she’s not the bride, just part of the wedding party. Unfortunately, as Halloween and the wedding date draw closer, things start to unravel faster than a kitten with a big ball of yarn!

Who would think that two of the bridesmaids have a serious dislike for each other? Or that daily feuds and just plain meanness would play out incessantly? And the closer the date, the hotter the fury among the bride and the bridal party.

It’s getting downright ugly! But not as ugly as murder! Someone in the bridal party dies. Another is accused! And with the wedding date coming up quick, Bailey puts her sleuthing skills to work. The wedding just won’t be the same if someone in the bridal party lands in “the big house!”

Brimming with plenty of creative characters and suspects, readers will be wondering who was out to get the victim and why. The groom’s parents make it clear they are against the wedding. An old high school friend of the victim blows into town with an “anger management” problem. Raven’s wedding photographer, another old friend, seems to have questionable intentions. Illegal drug activity finds its way into the mix.

As Bailey tries to keep the wedding on schedule and uncover the real culprit, she’s also dealing with a money-grabbing uncle obsessed with the Lazy Bones Bookshop and creating turmoil within her own family!

If you’re looking for that perfect fall cozy, look no further than Mayhem at a Halloween Wedding by Emmeline Duncan. This is seasonal entertainment at its best – and a sweetly delightful Halloween treat!
